The Jets on Tuesday brought in five players for workouts, including three running backs: Henry Hynoski, a fullback formerly of the Giants; Bryce Brown, formerly of the Eagles and Bills; and Joe Banyard, formerly of the Vikings, a person familiar with the situation confirmed.

That person spoke to NJ Advance Media on condition of anonymity. ESPN's Rich Cimini was first to report the news of the workouts.

With running back Chris Ivory still banged up, the Jets no doubt wanted to get a look-see on a few free agents as a contingency. Ivory, who has a quad injury, was active for Sunday's loss to the Eagles, though he did not play. He said afterward he was fine, and head coach Todd Bowles said Monday he thought Ivory would be OK "with a couple more days' rest."

In Ivory's place, Bilal Powell and Zac Stacy combined for just 47 rushing yards on 16 carries against the Eagles. The Jets also still have a fullback in Tommy Bohanon.

PLUS:

Hynoski spent four seasons with the Giants before being released at the end of training camp earlier this month. He caught 23 passes in his first two seasons.

Brown spent the 2012 and '13 seasons with the Eagles and last year with the Bills. He has averaged 4.4 yards on 226 career carries with six rushing touchdowns.

Linebackers Jeff Luc and Quayshawn Neely were the other two players to work out for the Jets on Tuesday, the players' day off.

The Jets on Tuesday also signed Ronald Martin to the practice squad after Martin cleared waivers. Martin had been waived Monday. Cornerback Keon Lyn was released from the practice squad to make room for Martin.
