Season-ending injury for Jenkins confirmed
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 19, 2009 3:53 PM ET
Now 1-3 since winning the Super Bowl against the Patriots in Week Two, the Jets got another humbling piece of news Monday.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that nose tackle Kris Jenkins will indeed miss the season with a torn ACL. Jenkins has already been placed on injured reserve. PFT wrote Sunday night about multiple reports that Jenkins was likely out for the year.
Jenkins' play in New York hasn't always been consistent; he's occasionally as dominant as any player in the league. Sometimes, he's merely good. But as a quality nose tackle in a 3-4 defense, he's among the toughest players to replace in the league.
Rex Ryan, who has enjoyed having Haloti Ngata and Jenkins in his last two spots, will have to get creative to make up for Jenkins' absence the rest of the season.
The Jets and the playoffs don't seem like a likely couple now...
