New York Jets waive former Alabama WR ArDarius Stewart following return from suspension

The New York Jets selected former Alabama WR ArDarius Stewart in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

However, after a lackluster rookie season, Stewart was suspended for the first two games of the 2018 season for a violation of the league’s PED policy.

Upon his return from suspension, the Jets have instead decided to waive the former Crimson Tide standout:

We have waived WR ArDarius Stewart.

Stewart had six catches for 82 yards last season and showed some flashes of improvement in the preseason.

As a young receiver who hasn’t played much, he may be able to catch on with a team soon, but he’ll face an uphill battle to make a contribution this year. We’ll have to wait to see where he ends up next.
