Nwangwu (undisclosed) signed with the Jets' practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Nwangwu was somewhat surprisingly waived by the Vikings on Aug. 27, and after being claimed by the Saints, was cut loose again with a failed physical designation. Whatever injury the Iowa State product was tending to, his signing with the Jets appears to indicate it's now in the past. The 26-year-old could be emergency running back depth for the team, as well as a potential candidate for a returner role he's filled in the past with Minnesota.
