Jets make cuts, keep WR Clowney, RBs Woodhead, CWashington

Jets keep WR Clowney, RBs Woodhead, CWashington

NEW YORK — Wide receiver David Clowney and running backs Danny Woodhead and Chauncey Washington have made the New York Jets’ 53-man roster.

Woodhead and Washington had solid performances this summer, and it was a mild surprise Saturday that the Jets kept both. They give New York seven running backs, including Shonn Greene, LaDainian Tomlinson, struggling fourth-round pick Joe McKnight, and fullbacks Tony Richardson and fifth-round pick John Conner.

The roster could still change Sunday, when teams look to pick up players who have been cut.

Clowney was on the bubble all summer, but made the team — possibly as insurance until Santonio Holmes returns from a four-game suspension in Week 5.
