Jets, WR Nelson agree to deal with Holmes hurt again

Wide receiver David Nelson agreed to a contract with the New York Jets.

Santonio Holmes could miss two games with a hamstring injury and Stephen Hill must pass concussion tests to suit up, leading the Jets to look for veteran help at the position.

Nelson wasn't re-signed by the Buffalo Bills in 2013. He suffered a torn ACL in the 2012 regular-season opener. He worked out for multiple teams recently, including New England, and spent part of the preseason with the Cleveland Browns.

Nelson caught 61 passes in 2011 and 31 in 2010 with the Bills.
