Andre Cisco's Preseason Performance Saves His Roster Spot
New York Jets safety Andre Cisco's job security improved significantly after his standout performance in the team's preseason Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cisco, who signed a one-year extension to remain with the Jets after last season's pectoral tear cut short his debut campaign, had been struggling throughout training camp.
However, he made up for lost time on Friday night, intercepting a pass in the red zone and showcasing the skills that have defined his career. This performance was crucial for Cisco, who needed to prove himself after being surpassed by offseason acquisition Dane Belton in the safety battle.
Belton has been impressive this preseason, with four total tackles and several highlight-reel plays. However, Cisco's interception served as a reminder that he is still very much in contention for the starting spot alongside veteran Minkah Fitzpatrick.
