Jets Sign WR Brackins

POSTED: 9:17 pm EDT August 19, 2008

(Sports Network) - The New York Jets signed wide receiver Larry Brackins on Tuesday following the injury to start-up wideout David Clowney during Saturday's 13-10 preseason setback to Washington.

Brackins is fresh off a productive campaign for the Arena Football League- champion Philadelphia Soul, hauling in 107 receptions for 1,395 yards and 29 touchdowns this past season.

Clowney, Green Bay's fifth-round pick out of Virginia Tech in 2007, leads all wideouts in preseason receiving yards with 222 on eight catches, including a pair of 70-yard touchdown receptions in New York's preseason opening 24-20 triumph over Cleveland.

The second-year player suffered a shoulder injury when Redskins cornerback Justin Tryon rolled over the receiver. The severity of the injury is not yet known. Clowney was signed to the Jets practice squad last October after being released by the Packers.
