Two New York Jets players have been placed on injured reserve ahead of facing the Houston Texans in Week 9.
Wide receiver Allen Lazard and defensive tackle Leki Fotu landed on the injury designation.
Lazard had missed recent games due to a chest injury, meanwhile, meanwhile, Fotu had been dealing with a knee issue.
By landing on IR, both players will end up missing a minimum of four games. Eventually the team can open up both of their practice windows before they potentially return to the active roster.
Just before the start of the regular season, Fotu previously was placed on injured reserve but returned. However, that was for a hamstring injury.
It’s unclear the amount of time both will miss.
In corresponding moves, kicker Riley Patterson and offensive lineman Alec Lindstrom were sign to New York’s active roster taking the spots of Lazard and Fotu.
Jets Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
