We've waived EDGE Nathan Voorhis with an injury settlement and waived LB Kobe King from injured reserve Via @nyjets on X

What happened: Voorhis joined New York as an undrafted free agent on May 8 and reverted to injured reserve after clearing waivers this week. King had been on injured reserve since June 3.

Why it matters: The moves remove two defenders from the injured list as New York approaches its final roster decisions. They also create room for further personnel changes before the regular season.

By the numbers: Voorhis moved from waived-injured to injured reserve and then an injury settlement within three days. King spent nearly three months on injured reserve.

What to watch: Waiver processing and any corresponding roster additions are next as the Jets complete their preseason cutdown.
