Brownlee was waived by the Jets on Wednesday
Brownlee made the initial 53-man roster Tuesday but was subsequently waived to make room for incoming tight end Brenden Bates, whom the Jets claimed on waivers from Chicago on Wednesday. If Brownlee passes through waivers unclaimed, he will likely be added to the Jets' practice squad, where he began his rookie season last year before ultimately dressing for seven regular-season games.
