After not being able to finish out the only two games he started this season, the Jets have placed linebacker C.J. Mosley on season-ending injured reserve.
Mosley injured his groin in the Jets’ season opener against the Bills and returned prematurely in Week 7 against the Patriots. He reaggravated his injury in the Jets’ 33-0 loss and did not see any the field again despite inclinations that he may return.
Mosley attempted to hold off surgery but was unable to avoid it. He will undergo season-ending surgery, as the Jets are no longer in the playoff picture following their loss in Cincinnati.
The Jets gave the former Ravens star a five-year, $85 million deal that included $51 million guaranteed in free agency.
He finished th eyear with just nine tackles, one fumble recovery, one quarterback hit, two passes defended and a pick-six in 108 snaps over two games.
To replace Mosley on the active roster, the Jets brought back DB Bennett Jackon, claiming him from the Ravens. The Jets need depth in the secondary with Jamal Adams (ankle), Brian Poole (concussion protocol) and Arthur Maulet (calf) all banged up.
Jackson was claimed by the Jets on Sept. 1 and was waived two weeks later. He then joined the team’s practice squad but was signed to the Ravens’ active roster on Oct. 15.
