The NY Jets have announced that James Carpenter has been placed on I.R.
The Jets have placed starting left guard James Carpenter on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. They also have signed G Ben Braden from the practice squad to the active roster and have signed RB Mark Thompson to their practice squad.
Carpenter, the 25th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Alabama by Seattle, had been an iron man in the Jets lineup since signing as an unrestricted free agent from the Seahawks in 2015. He started all 58 games from the ’15 season opener against Cleveland through Game 10 against Buffalo this season.
