for their banged-up receiving group.They signed free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews Youth Rashaan Evans Jersey , who was released by Tennessee last month after requesting the move because he felt he was being underused. He had three catches for 11 yards in three games.The Jets were short-handed at receiver because Quincy Enunwa, who has a team-leading 22 catches, is out a few weeks with a sprained ankle. Terrelle Pryor was also released last Saturday with an injury settlement because of a groin tear.To make room for Matthews on the roster Tuesday, New York placed safety Doug Middleton on injured reserve after he tore a pectoral muscle Sunday in the Jets' game against Minnesota.The 29-year-old Matthews signed a one-year contract extension with the Titans in August after leading them with 1,740 yards receiving and 13 touchdowns combined over the past two seasons. He missed organized team activities, minicamp in June, training camp and Tennessee's first three preseason games with an undisclosed injury before being activated from the physically unable to perform list before the regular season.But he didn't like how he was being used in new coordinator Matt LaFleur's offense and asked to be released or traded. Tennessee granted his request by cutting him when it couldn't deal him.He has 228 catches for 3 Navy Tajae Sharpe Jersey ,147 yards and 21 touchdowns in six-plus seasons.Matthews was a seventh-round pick by Miami out of Nevada, where his quarterback was Colin Kaepernick. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Dolphins before signing a three-year deal with Tennessee in 2016.Matthews, who comes from a military family, stayed in the tunnel during the playing of the national anthem during some games last season. He stood on the sideline for the final preseason game this summer and did the same during the three games he was with Tennessee. The Jets have had no players display any protests the past two seasons, with the players, coaches and owner standing together with their arms interlocked.Middleton started a career-high four games this season, making 27 tackles along with three passes defensed.It's another tough break for Middleton http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-daquan-jones-jersey , who tore a pectoral last summer during training camp and missed the regular season. He went home to North Carolina to rehabilitate the injury and used the time to earn his master's degree in public administration from Appalachian State.He was playing in place of the injured Marcus Maye, who is sidelined with a broken thumb. The Jets are short-handed at the safety spot with Jamal Adams and Terrence Brooks the only healthy players at the position.Rontez Miles remains on the physically unable to perform list after injuring a knee in the offseason. New York also has Brandon Bryant on the practice squad.AP Pro Football Writer Teresa M. Walker in Nashville, Tennessee, contributed.Harold Landry earns “elite” PFF grade for his performance against Green Bay Pro Football Focus has released the top five player grades for the Titans first preseason game on both sides of the ball and rookie edge rusher Harold Landry graded out as with a 92.0. Anything above 90 is considered elite based on PFF’s grading scale so that’s pretty high praise. Obviously, the big splash play was the strip sack, but this grade shows that Landry wasn’t just a one-hit wonder on Thursday night. The football world took notice of the big night for the 41st overall pick and are beginning to say what we have been saying here since the draft: how the heck did the rest of the NFL let this guy slide to 41?Overreacting to one preseason game against questionable competition is always a bad idea, but the moves Landry showed under the lights are the exact same that we’ve seen on his college tape and at practice already with the exact same results. It’s hard not to be excited about that debut Youth Delanie Walker Jersey , but now comes the challenge of building off that. Landry will face better tackles and teams will get a better feel for his tendencies once they get more film on that dip move that he won with for the sack, but his work against Taylor Lewan every day is preparing him for that eventuality. The Landry hype train has officially left the station.Other high scorers according to PFF on defense included Daren Bates, LeShaun Sims, Jayon Brown, and Julius Warmsley. Brown and Sims are locks to make the roster, but the quality work from Bates and Warmsley could be important to their chances of making the 53-man roster. The top five on offense was dominated by interior offensive linemen. Second year center/guard Corey Levin led the way with a strong 87.8 grade playing both center and right guard at points in the game. He’s a guy that I thought would be helped by the change in scheme due to his plus movement skills and I plan on going back to watch him closer this week. The other offensive linemen cracking the top five were Kevin Pamphile, Aaron Stinnie http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-taylor-lewan-jersey , and Xavier Su’a-Filo. Pamphile was working as the second team right tackle, Su’a-Filo as the second team right guard, and Stinnie as the third team left guard. The only non-offensive lineman among the top five was wide receiver/kick returner Cameron Batson. Batson only had one catch for 18 yards so my guess is this was primarily based on his kick returns.
