The Jets began the process of cutting their roster from 90 to 53 players.
They announced they placed cornerback Jimmy Moreland on season-ending injured reserve. Moreland injured his hand in the preseason finale against the Giants.

He had a sack in Saturday's preseason finale.
Vigil played four games for the Cardinals last season and had 13 tackles and two sacks. A third-round pick of the Bengals in 2016, he also has played for the Chargers and Vikings.
Vigil has appeared in 89 games with 53 starts in his career and has totaled 443 tackles, five sacks, 20 tackles for loss, 17 passes defensed, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries.
