Resigned by the Jets to a one-year contract in May Hilliard had been sidelined for the team’s first two preseason games. He was battling round seven pick Tommy Bohanon for a roster spot before the injury.
Additionally the Jets signed Marcus Rucker in attempts to keep the competition at the wide receiver position hot through the preseason. The 23 year old Rucker (6’4″, 190 lbs) hopes he can translate some of the success he had in college at Memphis onto an NFL field and the NY Jets are giving him the opportunity to do so.
