Abanikanda was waived by the Jets on Monday.
Abanikanda, a 2023 fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh, had yet to appear in a game this season after falling down the team's depth chart. The 22-year-old recorded 22 carries for 70 yards over 75 offensive snaps in six regular-season games with the Jets in 2023. If he clears waivers, Abanikanda could land on the Jets' practice squad.
