The Jets filled six of their 10 slots on their practice squad today. Five of them spent the preseason with the Jets while one other — WR Myles White — came to the Green & White after being released by another other that shares its stadium with the Jets.

Here are the players signed to the Jets practice squad by position:

WR Myles WhiteThe Jets signed White (6'0", 190) to their practice squad after the Giants waived him Saturday and he cleared waivers. White came out of Louisiana Tech to sign with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2013.

He had seven catches for 88 yards and a TD last year after making nine grabs for 66 yards with the Pack in '13.

G Craig WattsWatts (6'3", 335), a West Texas A&M product, spent the majority of his career with the Chargers after going undrafted in 2014. He was in for 159 offensive plays this preseason, second-most on the OL behind Dakota Dozier's 193.

DL Claude PelonPelon (6'4", 300), a JUCO All-American at Mesa (AZ) before transferring to USC, signed with the Jets after going undrafted. He participated in 98 defensive snaps in the preseason.
