The New York Jets waived Isaiah Williams on Saturday, just days after the return specialist fumbled on a second-half kickoff in Monday night’s 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

“That was a big part of the game, and I let the team down,” Williams said postgame.

That wasn’t Williams’ only gaffe of the loss, as he also made a fair catch on his own 3-yard line with New York facing an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit.

“Just thinking too much, man, just trying to make a play,” he said about the fair catch. “At the last minute, I see (a Miami player), and I forget where I am on the field.”

Williams is the second Jets special teams player to be cut in four weeks. New York waived Xavier Gipson after he fumbled the ball late in a two-point loss in Week 1 to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Running backs Avery Williams and Isaiah Davis could take over return duties for the Jets in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Williams was signed to the practice squad this week and elevated to the active roster on Saturday. He has over 100 career combined kick and punt returns, while Davis has 11 kickoff returns this season.

The Jets also downgraded their No. 1 kickoff returner, Kene Nwangwu, on Saturday. He will miss his fourth straight game due to a hamstring injury.

New York signed linebacker Mykal Walker from the practice squad and elevated safety Dean Clark to the active roster.

The Jets are looking for their first win of the season on Sunday.
