The New York Jets will be without their No. 1 wide receiver for at least a couple of weeks.
Breshad Perriman suffered a sprained ankle on Sunday against the 49ers and is considered week-to-week, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Perriman exited Sunday’s game in the second quarter with two receptions for 12 yards.
This is Perriman’s second injury since joining the Jets. He suffered a knee injury in training camp that kept him sidelined for a few weeks. Perriman signed a one-year deal worth $8 million with New York in the offseason.
Despite their recent string of bad luck on the injury front, the Jets seemed to have caught a break with Chris Hogan. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Hogan left Sunday’s game with a rib injury, but nothing is broken and all indications are he will be good to go against the Colts this weekend.
With Hogan avoiding a serious injury, the Jets are down to three healthy wide receivers. Along with Hogan, New York has Braxton Berrios and Josh Malone. Jamison Crowder missed Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury and it is unknown if he will return in Week 3.
The Jets’ options are limited in terms of adding a wide receiver. On the practice squad, they have Lawerence Cager and D.J. Montgomery. Donte Moncrief is also on the practice squad, but is currently dealing with an injury that landed him on the practice squad injured reserve.
