The Jets shake up their roster ahead of their preseason clash with Pittsburgh, adding explosive return specialist Junior Bergen while cutting DT Sheffield. Bergen, a seventh-round pick by the 49ers who spent last season on their practice squad, dazzled in college at Montana — amassing over 4,400 all-purpose yards, tying the FCS record with eight punt return TDs, and setting a school record for average. Now he faces stiff competition in New York’s WR room, which includes Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and rookie Omar Cooper. While making the final 53 is tough, his special teams upside could give him a shot. With preseason games as critical evaluation windows, fans will be watching closely to see if Bergen can carve out a role — especially on special teams — before the regular season kicks off.
