The Jets released offensive lineman Alex Lewis from the reserve/left squad list on Friday.
Lewis did not suit up for New York last season after abruptly retiring from football in August, 12 days after he sustained a head injury in practice. Lewis restructured his contract with the Jets before stepping away from football, cutting his salary from $5.8 million to $3.3 million in an effort to remain on the roster.
Robert Saleh said that Lewis was dealing with issues “much greater than football” at the time of his retirement.
