Jarrett picked up seven tackles in four preseason games with the team after being signed as a college free agent from the University of Pittsburgh in May.

To make room for Jarrett, NT Kyle Peko was waived on Saturday. Peko appeared in one game as a rookie, but spent the majority of the 2016 season on the practice squad.

Jarrett will wear number 98.
