About the reception of the ball, he added: \u201cI thought too much, man, I was just trying to make a play. In the last minute, I see a Miami player and forget where I am on the field.\u201d<\/p><cite>Isaiah Williams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nTo fill Williams&#8217; position, the Jets promoted linebacker Mykal Walker from the practice squad.\n\nIt is not yet clear who will handle kickoff and punt returns in the next game against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.\n\nThe most likely candidates are running back Avery Williams (promoted from the practice squad) and backup running back Isaiah Davis, who has 11 kickoff returns.\n\nAvery Williams, former selection of the Atlanta Falcons, was signed this week for the practice squad.\n\nThe Jets are in a complicated situation due to the absence of their main kickoff returner, Kene Nwangwu (hamstring injury), who has missed three games and is also ruled out for Sunday&#8217;s game.\n\nRunning back Braelon Allen also handled kickoff returns, but he injured his knee on Monday night on a return and will be out for at least two months.\n\nAlso, safety Dean Clark was promoted for the match.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FLORHAM PARK, N.J. \u2013 The winless New York Jets have made decisive moves by releasing players who made crucial mistakes on special teams, repeating this action for the second time in four weeks.
