Vickerson was released by the Jets on Wednesday, Seth Walder of The New York Daily News reports.

Vickerson signed a one-year contract with the Jets in March after playing 10 games with the Chiefs in 2014, but he was never able to make it on the field with his new club, suffering a hamstring injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve in the beginning of Sept. He could catch on with another team and provide some depth along the defensive line if he returns healthy.

Vickerson was placed on season-ending injured reserve, ESPN.com reports.

Vickerson played with Denver and Kansas City over the last three seasons, and he recorded 57 tackles and three sacks in 42 games. He was likely going to be used to add depth to the Jets' line, had he been healthy and able to make the final roster.

Vickerson (hamstring) was activated from the physically unable to perform list Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Vickerson is competing for a role in the Jets' defensive line rotation. He hasn't been terribly productive, as he's recorded 57 tackles and three sacks in 42 games with Denver and Kansas City over the last three seasons.

Vickerson signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Friday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Vickerson spent 15 games with the Chiefs in 2014, accumulating 12 tackles while defensing one pass. He'll serve as a run-stopping depth option along the Jets' defensive line.

Vickerson (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With just seven tackles in 10 games to date, Vickerson's availability is of more import to the Chiefs' defensive line depth than it is to fantasy owners.

Vickerson (calf) will not practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

Vickerson signed with the Chiefs on Monday night, the Kansas City Star reports.

Vickerson was released by the Broncos at the end of preseason after a hamstring injury slowed him. He has now found work with the Chiefs along the defensive line, where Mike DeVito went down for the season in Week 1. It's possible Vickerson will compete for playing time immediately.

Vickerson was released by the Broncos on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.

Vickerson was slowed in training camp due to the dislocated hip that he suffered late last season. The nine-year veteran lost out in the defensive line rotation to offseason pickup Marvin Austin.

Broncos DT Kevin Vickerson (hip) is questionable for the start of training camp.

Vickerson has been slow to recover from his dislocated hip and is sitting out OTAs. He doesn't have a set timetable to resume football activities, but his Week 1 status isn't in doubt. Vickerson stared 11 games prior to going down last year and will return in a rotation with Terrance Knighton and Sylvester Williams.

Broncos DT Kevin Vickerson (hip) said he "should be" ready for OTAs.

Vickerson dislocated his hip after starting the first 11 games of this past season.

Vickerson should be back to rotate with Terrance Knighton and Sylvester Williams at defensive tackle.

Broncos will place DT Kevin Vickerson (hip) on injured reserve, ending his season.

The Broncos can't afford to wait on Vickerson in the hopes his dislocated hip will heal in time for the playoffs. Instead, they'll use Sylvester Williams and Mitch Unrein next to Terrance Knighton and sign a body for defensive tackle depth. Vickerson will head to free agency with 22 tackles and one sack in 11 games. He graded out as ProFootballFocus' No. 61 nose/defensive tackle among 70 qualifiers.

Broncos DT Kevin Vickerson (hip) is out a minimum of six weeks.

Vickerson won't need surgery to repair the joint he dislocated in Sunday night's Week 12 loss at New England, but his season is still in jeopardy. It's a loss the Broncos should be able to overcome. Vickerson has graded out 61st among 70 qualifying nose/defensive tackles according to ProFootballFocus. He has 22 tackles and one sack through 11 games. Terrance Knighton, Sylvester Williams and Mitch Unrein are going to have to pick up the slack.

Broncos re-signed DT Kevin Vickerson to a two-year contract.

The Broncos are working to re-sign free agents DT Kevin Vickerson and S David Bruton.

Vickerson received the most extensive playing time of his career in 2012, and he responded with 40 tackles and two sacks as a stout run defender in the middle. Denver is paper thin at defensive tackle right now, and re-signing Vickerson is likely a priority. Bruton is a core special-teamer.

Broncos DT Kevin Vickerson weighed in at 324 pounds during organized team activities.

Vickerson claims he ''was too light'' playing last season at 275 pounds and ''couldn't anchor down at the point of attack.''

Broncos placed DT Kevin Vickerson (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Broncos DT Kevin Vickerson has already dropped at least 30 pounds since the 2010 season ended.

Vickerson was listed at 321 pounds last season. He showed up for workouts this week at a "lean 285." The idea is to add speed and flexibility for his move to three-technique tackle in John Fox's 4-3 defense. The Broncos figure to add two more veteran tackles in free agency.

Broncos re-signed DL Kevin Vickerson to a two-year contract.
