The Chiefs signed Firkser to the practice squad Saturday. Firkser was released by the Jets on Thursday as he served mostly on special teams over the past three games. Firkser will now head to Kansas City and take the spot on the practice squad vacated by Peyton Hendershot, who was signed to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday following Jared Wiley's season-ending torn ACL.
Firkser was released by the Jets on Thursday. The tight end was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Weeks 6-8 and played on seven offensive snaps and 51 special-teams snaps. Firkser also saw action in Week 1, but he has yet to record a catch this season. The seventh-year pro's last regular-season reception came in 2022 with the Falcons.
The Jets signed Firkser from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Firkser began the regular season on the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He's played 28 snaps (six on offense, 22 on special teams) in the two games he's been elevated for, but he'll now join the active roster and provide depth at tight end. Firkser could serve as the Jets' No. 2 tight end behind Jeremy Ruckert on Sunday against the Steelers if starter Tyler Conklin (hip) is unable to play.
Firkser reverted to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Firkser was elevated to the Jets' active roster ahead of Monday night's win over the Bills, but he'll now rejoin the team's practice squad. The Harvard product could be elevated to New York's active roster again if the Jets' tight end room faces injuries later this season.
Firkser was elevated to the Jets' active roster Monday. Firkser's elevation Monday could be an indication that Tyler Conklin (hip) will be inactive in Week 6, but it adds depth to the Jets' tight end room regardless. Expect Firkser to see limited work with the Jets' offense and primarily play on special teams in Monday night's matchup against the Bills.
Firkser reverted to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday. Firsker was promoted by the team to the active roster ahead of their Monday night loss to the 49ers, which saw him play one snap on offense and nine on special teams.
Firkser was elevated from the Jets' practice squad Monday. Firkser joined the team's practice squad after being unable to make their 53-man roster during training camp. The veteran's promotion comes as a bit of a surprise, with three tight ends already on the active roster, although it's not guaranteed he'll be active for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Firkser signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday. The veteran tight end joined the Jets in late July but failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. However, Firkser is returning to New York after inking a deal with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday. He could be elevated to the Jets' active roster if one of the team's three active TEs misses time at some point this season.
The Jets released Firsker on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports. The veteran tight end played in a career-low two regular-season games with Detroit last season, spending most of the campaign on the Lions' practice squad. It appears he may need to settle for another practice-squad role in 2024 in order to have a chance to make it back to an NFL roster. Firkser's best season came in 2020 with Tennessee, when he caught 39 passes for 387 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season contests.
