Jets Sign RB Lex Hilliard

In response to yet another injury, the Jets have signed running back/fullback Lex Hillard who was let go by the Patriots on September 19th. Hillard was drafted by the Dolphins in 2008 and has spent time with the Vikings and Patriots. In 40 career games, he had 40 rush attempts for 132 yards and a touchdown and had 26 catches for 210 yards and 2 touchdowns. Unless he does something special he will be around until John Connor gets healthy.
