Jets waive Maybin, put Trufant on IR


Linebacker Aaron Maybin was waived by the New York Jets while defensive back Isaiah Trufant was placed on injured reserve with a left knee injury, the team announced Tuesday.

Maybin was signed as restricted free agent last April and played in eight games this season, registering six sacks, four forced fumbles and 42 tackles for his career.

Trufant was signed to the Jets’ practice squad two seasons ago and soon activated as part of the 2010 team that went to the AFC Championship game. He has seen action with them for parts of the last two seasons. He has played one game this season.
