Prior to the New York Jets’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the Jets elevated linebacker Troy Reeder and offensive tackle Brant Banks from the practice squad.
Troy Reeder is a 32 year old, 6’ 3”, 245 pound linebacker out of Delaware. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019 by the Los Angeles Rams. Reeder spent his entire NFL career with the Rams through the 2025 season. In July 2026 the Detroit Lions signed Reeder, and he was with the Lions through their 2026 training
camp before the Lions released him prior to the start of the 2026 season. Reeder was signed to the Jets practiced squad in early September and has been elevated to the active roster a few times since then. Reeder has played 87 snaps in five games with the Jets, all on special teams. He has recorded four tackles this season.
Brant Banks is a 26 year old, 307 pound second year offensive tackle out of Rice. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Green Bay Packers in 2025 and played two games for them last year, playing a total of six snaps for the Packers, all on special teams. The Packers released Banks in August, 2026 and the Jets signed him to the practice squad. Banks has been elevated by the Jets from the practice squad twice this season. He has yet to play a snap in the NFL in 2026.
