Jets designate rookie VJ Payne to return from injured reserve

The New York Jets have designated rookie safety VJ Payne to return from injured reserve, as announced by head coach Aaron Glenn. Payne, a seventh-round draft pick, has been sidelined since sustaining a bone bruise during training camp. He is expected to contribute on special teams once fully activated. The Jets have a window of 21 days to add him back to the 53-man roster before he must remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The Jets are preparing for an upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.
