HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., Nov. 18 (UPI) -- The New York Jets Monday added veteran guard Dave Szott to their roster and waived fellow offensive lineman Darnell Alford.
Szott, who signed with the Jets March 21, 2002 as an unrestricted free agent after starting all 16 games for the Washington Redskins last season, has been sidelined since suffering a torn ACL in his right knee in May.
He was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on Aug. 26.
Szott, 34, a native of Clifton, N.J., returned from torn biceps suffered in 2000 when he was with the Kansas City Chiefs and helped pave the way for Stephen Davis to rush for 1,432 yards last season.
The seventh-round draft choice of the Chiefs in 1990 out of Penn State played 10 seasons in Kansas City.
Alford, who was signed off the Green Bay Packers' practice squad, appeared in two games with the Jets.
