(CBS New York) – Less than 24 hours after losing to Sam Darnold, Robby Anderson, and the Carolina Panthers the Jets have added injury to insult with the news starting safety Lamarcus Joyner is likely done for the year. Joyner was unable to make it through the very first game of the season and early tests show an apparent torn tendon in his arm.
Further evaluations are still needed, but season-ending surgery seems likely. Joyner was signed this past off-season to start opposite Marcus Maye and serve as a veteran presence amongst the team’s inexperienced defensive backfield.
