A big X-factor for the New York Jets, Chris Herndon, was handed a four game suspension for violating the NFL’s league substance abuse policy. The Jets will be without one of Sam Darnold’s favorite targets until October 7th. With Herndon out for the first quarter of the season, there is no question the Jets will suffer.
The second year tight end is a playmaker, and arguably the most likely to make a surprise impact for the Gang Green this season. With Herndon out, the Jets are facing a massive setback, and potential terrible opening to the season.
When looking at the Jets’ first four games, they were going to need every weapon on the table to come out alive.
