He was a part of the Jets' final round of cuts going into the 2021 season and ultimately signed with the Panthers' practice squad. He was cut once the team brought in Cam Newton and added by the Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined with COVID-19. The second-year quarterback will now try to latch on elsewhere.

Jets' James Morgan: Will not suit up Week 2
Rotowire
Morgan (coach's decision) is inactive for New York's Week 2 matchup against the 49ers, per the Jets' official Twitter account.
The fourth-round draft choice currently resides on the Jets' depth chart as the No. 3 option at quarterback, though he likely will be buried in the No. 4 position once Joe Flacco (neck) is able to return to action. Morgan remains a developmental backup for Gang Green after throwing for 40 touchdowns and over 5,300 yards for Florida International the past two years.
