Jets' Rontez Miles: Activated from PUP list
The Jets activated Miles to their 53-man roster Friday.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Sports helmet at practice, won't return in Week 8

Jets' Rontez Miles: Starts camp on PUP list
Miles (knee) has landed on the PUP list to begin training camp, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Given his 3-to-4 month recovery timetable that surfaced in early June, it's not a huge surprise that the team made the move given the lengthy recovery time remaining ahead of him. Miles is projected to serve as a backup safety and special teams contributor when healthy, though his absence could leave an opening for J.J. Wilcox to slot in higher on the depth chart.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Out 3-to-4 months after meniscus surgery
Miles underwent surgery Wednesday to address a torn meniscus in his knee and is expected to be sidelined for 3-to-4 months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
While the circumstances behind Miles' injury are unclear, it's likely that he hurt the knee at some point during the Jets' offseason program. The projected timetable means that Miles won't be ready for the start of training camp and will almost certainly be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list in the near future. If Miles' recovery trends to the longer end of that time frame, he'll be a candidate for injured reserve, though he could be designated as one of the Jets' two players eligible to return from IR. Miles was projected to serve as the top backup at either safety spot and a core special-teams contributor, but his injury now opens the door for the newly signed J.J. Wilcox to take on greater importance in the New York secondary.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Inks RFA tender to stay with Jets
Miles signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Jets on Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Miles has served primarily as a special teamer during his tenure in New York. In all likelihood, Miles should reassume his role as leader of that units in 2018. With safeties Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye leading the back end of the secondary, Miles would only see time there if an injury or two were to present itself.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Receives tender from Jets
Miles has been tendered by the Jets as an exclusive rights free agent, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Miles posted 24 tackles (21 solo) in 13 games for the Jets in 2017, a significant slide from his productive 2016 season. The 29-year-old played only 125 defensive snaps for the Jets last season, primarily serving as a special teams player.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Given doubtful designation
