Officially placed on IR
The Jets placed Nwangwu (hand) on injured reserve Saturday, Ethan Greenberg and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.
ANALYSIS
Nwangwu is dealing with a hand injury, and with New York having just four games remaining on the regular-season slate and already eliminated from playoff contention, his campaign has come to an end. The fourth-year tailback will finish his first season with the Jets with no offensive touches over two games, but he made an impact as a returner, taking a kickoff 99 yards to paydirt in the Week 13 loss to Seattle. Xavier Gipson will likely take over as the Jets' lead kick returner with Nwangwu now sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Nwangwu was primarily used on special teams last season, playing just 18 offensive snaps (11 touches). He used his 4.32 speed to churn out 920 yards and a TD on 35 kickoff returns. It's possible he's called on to use his speed in the offense more often this season following the release of Dalvin Cook. Alexander Mattison is the new starter, but Nwangwu could carve out a backup role. He'll compete with Ty Chandler, a 2022 fifth-round pick, and DeWayne McBride, a 2023 seventh-round pick. More likely, Nwangwu will be limited to kick-return duty once again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting look from Jets
Nwangwu will visit the Jets on Monday, Judd Zulgad of SKOR North Minneapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Nwangwu has had a busy offseason, as he was dumped by Minnesota after the preseason and then claimed by the Saints. However, he failed his physical in New Orleans and is now seeking another opportunity. The Jets likely have interest in Nwangwu as a special teams contributor, as he's been a strong kick returner in all three of his seasons as a pro.
