The Jets lost two more starters due to injury following their 34-27 win over the Giants.
Adam Gase spoke to the media Monday and said that tight end Chris Herndon fractured a rib on Sunday and will be out for “an extended period of time.” For Herndon, it’s been a wild ride this season. He missed the first four games of the season due to suspension. He then then missed four more games due to a hamstring injury. Sunday was his first game of the season; he had one catch on the day.
The other big injury the Jets suffered was to offensive lineman Brian Winters. He re-dislocated his shoulder. Gase said it will be hard to get him back on the field this season. More likely than not, he’ll need surgery.
Linebacker Brandon Copeland has a hip strain and will see a specialist, so that could be another issue for New York’s already-depleted group of linebackers.
The only good news is that Le’Veon Bell is okay after leaving Sunday’s game with sore ribs.
