Jets' Phidarian Mathis: Claimed by Gang Green

The Jets claimed Mathis off waivers Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mathis was waived by the Commanders on Saturday after being a healthy scratch in each of the last three games. He'll join the Jets and could suit up for the regular-season finale against the Dolphins on Sunday. Mathis appeared in 12 regular-season games for Washington and accumulated 17 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense.
