Following last night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 28-10, the New York Jets began trimming their roster down to 53 players, as they have to make the 9PM ET deadline. WR Eron Riley, who led the team with 4 catches for 28 yards last night, is reportedly among the initial cuts.

RB/KR Joe McKnight was named the AFC's Special Teams Player of the Month for October. He returned 11 kickoffs for 443 yards for the month, including a 107-yard kickoff-return touchdown against the Ravens, which was also the longest play in Jets' history. McKnight’s 40.3 kickoff return average in October was the highest in the NFL. In his second season from USC, this is McKnight’s first career Player of the Month Award. He joins KR Justin Miller (October of 2006), KR Brad Smith (December of 2010) and P Tom Tupa (November of 1999) as the only Jets to earn Special Teams Player of the Month honors.
