The Jets signed Brownlee to their practice squad Friday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Brownlee was let go from the Jets' 53-man roster Wednesday after tight end Brenden Bates was claimed off waivers. Brownlee began 2023 on the Jets' practice squad and played in seven regular-season games, finishing his rookie campaign with five catches (on eight targets) for 56 yards and one touchdown. Mike Williams (knee) and Irvin Charles (hip) are both dealing with injuries, and if either of them cannot suit up for the Jets' season opener against the 49ers on Sept. 9, Brownlee would be a prime candidate to be elevated to the active roster.
