Coach Rex Ryan said he expects Cumberland to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals. He should return to practice later this week.

Jeff Cumberland caught three passes for 41 yards in New York's Week 7 win over the Patriots.

They're Cumberland's typical TE2 numbers. Even with Kellen Winslow currently banned for PEDs, Cumberland can be mostly ignored in 12-team leagues.

Jeff Cumberland caught three passes for 79 yards and one touchdown in Monday night's Week 5 win over the Falcons.

Cumberland did all of his damage in the first half and saw just four targets all night. He ran right down the seam past LB Jopplo Bartu for a long 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Don't fall in love with Cumberland's big night.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Bills.

He wasn't even targeted in either of the Jets' first two games. Cumberland is waiver-wire fodder in fantasy football leagues.

Jeff Cumberland was held without a catch in Saturday's preseason game.

Cumberland had only two targets and split playing time with Kellen Winslow. He remains the favorite to start, but is unlikely to emerge as a fantasy asset. Through three preseason games, Cumberland has two receptions for 59 yards and two touchdowns.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland is among the club's skill-position players working out with Mark Sanchez in California.

This is a big season for Cumberland. He's in a contract year, and he has a chance to get some of the targets that went to the departed Dustin Keller. Cumberland, who's shown he can get downfield, could merit a look late in drafts if it's clear he's the go-to-guy at the position.

The Newark Star-Ledger reports TE Jeff Cumberland remains the in-house favorite to replace Dustin Keller.

Cumberland is coming off a career year in 2012 and the Jets haven't made any upgrades at the tight end position. Hayden Smith has reportedly "impressed" during OTAs, but is not expected to compete for the starting job. Cumberland was targeted 52 times last season and could be asked to take on a bigger role in the passing game.

Jets re-signed restricted free agent TE Jeff Cumberland to a one-year, $1.323 million contract.

Cumberland, 26 in May, recorded 29 receptions for 359 yards (12.4 YPR) and three touchdowns last season, starting 12-of-15 appearances. He's the in-house favorite to replace Dustin Keller, although GM John Idzik is said to be high on second-round prospect Zach Ertz. Cumberland is an upright, stiff receiving tight end with a limited ceiling. He's unlikely to emerge as a fantasy asset.

Jets tendered restricted free agent TE Jeff Cumberland at the original-round level.

It comes with a $1.323 million price. The Jets had been considering a second-round tender, which would have cost $2.023 million. Since Cumberland was an undrafted free agent, the Jets would receive no draft-pick compensation if he signed elsewhere and they chose not to match. Cumberland is unlikely to be pursued.

The Jets are considering tendering restricted free agent TE Jeff Cumberland at the second-round level.

Cumberland, 26 in May, started 12 games last season and caught 29 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns. The former undrafted free agent caught just three passes in his first two seasons. The second-round tender carries a $2.023 million price tag, and would likely effectively rule out a Dustin Keller re-signing.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland could become "the starter by default."

The cap-strapped Jets are not expected to be able to retain unrestricted free agent Dustin Keller. That leaves Cumberland, a plodding former undrafted prospect out of Illinois. During the eight games that Keller missed last season, Cumberland posted 18 catches for 232 yards and two touchdowns.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland caught three passes for 36 yards in Week 17.

The 36 yards put a bow on Cumberland's 2012 season, which saw him finish with a stat line of 29-359-3. Cumberland, who turns 26 in May, experienced increased playing time due to Dustin Keller's myriad nagging injuries. The former undrafted free agent out of Illinois would be best served returning in a reserve role for 2013. Cumberland is scheduled for restricted free agency.

Jeff Cumberland led the Jets with four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's Week 15 loss to the Titans.

Cumberland was targeted a team-high nine times on the night, and two of those Mark Sanchez passes were picked off. Filling in for Dustin Keller in the starting lineup, the lumbering Cumberland is a perfect match for the weak-armed Sanchez as an underneath receiver. His touchdown came from 17 yards out in the third quarter where he beat special teams LB Tim Shaw with ease. Cumberland holds no fantasy value.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland has been diagnosed with a dislocated right hand, and will be sidelined for Week 8.

According to beat writer Manish Mehta, the Jets "hope" Cumberland can return following their Week 9 bye. Cumberland has 14 catches through the Jets' first seven games, but his absence shouldn't be a major concern with Dustin Keller (hamstring) finally back to full health.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland had his right hand in a cast following Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

It looks like Cumberland has a fracture. He's back to strict backup mode anyway with Dustin Keller now healthy.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland was forced from Sunday's game against the Patriots with a hand injury, and is questionable to return.

The Jets are in the market for a blocking tight end.

With receiving-first options Dustin Keller, Jeff Cumberland, and Hayden Smith headlining the position, the Jets put an unsuccessful waiver claim in on Brody Eldridge. Available free agents include Kris Wilson, Billy Bajema, and John Gilmore.

Jets TE Jeff Cumberland is "95 percent" recovered from Achilles surgery.

"I'm feeling real well," Cumberland said. "I'm out there doing everything else everybody is doing." Cumberland will have to be fully healthy to compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Jets worked out TE Hayden Smith.

Smith, 6'7/240, is a rugby player originally from Penrith, Australia. He attended Metropolitan State in Denver, where he was also captain of the basketball team. The Jets are looking for tight end depth behind Dustin Keller.
