Doesn't practice Wednesday Nwangwu (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nwangwu played just three snaps on special teams and logged 33 kick return yards before departing in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a hamstring injury. The 2021 fourth-rounder will have two more opportunities to participate in practice and avoid an injury designation heading into the Jets' Week 2 AFC East clash against the Bills this Sunday. The recently signed Isaiah Williams would be the top candidate to join Arian Smith on kick returns if Nwangwu is unable to play.

Plays 24 snaps vs. Giants Nwangwu (calf) turned six carries into 31 yards during the Jets' 31-12 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday.
Impact Nwangwu was able to suit up for Saturday's contest after recovering from a calf injury that he suffered during the Jets' preseason opener against the Packers. He played four snaps on special teams and 20 on offense, the latter of which was second most among Jets running backs behind Donovan Edwards (22). Nwangwu is in a battle with Edwards and Isaiah Davis (ankle) for the RB3 job behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, and Nwangwu's last opportunity to make his case for the Jets' 53-man roster is Friday against the Eagles.

📈 Stock Report | Jets Who Stood Out During Preseason Game vs. Giants RB Kene Nwangwu, WRs Brandon Smith and Quentin Skinner Among Players Who Impressed
AUGUST 17, 2025 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Poised to play Saturday Nwangwu (calf) is in line to play against the Giants in Saturday's preseason game, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Nwangwu has been nursing a calf injury that he suffered in the Jets' preseason opener against the Packers, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play Saturday. With Isaiah Davis (ankle) ruled out, Nwangwu is in line to see the bulk of the backfield carries Saturday, assuming that Breece Hall and Braelon Allen are limited to the first couple of offensive series.
AUGUST 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Calf injury not major Nwangwu (calf) sustained an injury during Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers but is not believed to be dealing with anything major, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nwangwu was involved Saturday, rushing five times for 10 yards while racking up 35 yards on his only kick return. The 2021 fourth-round pick is competing for a reserve backfield role as well as duties in the return game. It's encouraging that Nwangwu's injury doesn't appear serious, but it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared in time to next play in the preseason on Saturday, Aug. 16 versus the Giants.

Jets Re-Sign RB Kene Nwangwu Former Fourth-Round Pick Has Had Return Success Throughout His Career
MARCH 19, 2025 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Remaining in New York The Jets are re-signing Nwangwu to a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Pelissero, the deal is worth up to $2.5 million. Nwangwu logged just one offensive snap over two games with the Jets last season, but he dazzled with a 99-yard kick return for a touchdown in Week 13. Nwangwu ended the campaign on IR due to a hand injury, but he's expected to be healthy by the start of training camp.
MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Officially placed on IR The Jets moved Nwangwu (hand) to injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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 as a Jet with no offensive touches over two games, but he did make an impact as a returner, taking a kickoff 99 yards to paydirt Week 13 against Seattle. Xavier Gipson will likely be the Jets' lead kick returner with Nwangwu now sidelined.

Jets running back Hall 'looks promising' to play vs. Jags, but cornerback Reed is doubtful

New York Jets running back Breece Hall could play Sunday at Jacksonville after missing a game with a knee injury
DECEMBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press
Expected to go to IR Nwangwu (hand) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Nwangwu played 18 snaps (one on offense and 17 on special teams) last week against Miami, but he was apparently injured along the way. Xavier Gipson is expected to take over as the Jets' kick returner.

Jets and Jaguars, two of the NFL's most disappointing teams, meet amid uncertain futures

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • Associated Press
Estimated as DNP Nwangwu (hand) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Iowa State product played 18 total snaps (one offensive and 17 on special teams) without recording a stat in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, seemingly sustaining a hand injury in the process. Wednesday's practice was just a walkthrough; however, if Nwangwu cannot upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, Xavier Gipson will likely serve as the Jets' top kick returner in the Week 15 matchup against the Jaguars.
