The Jets haven’t been the healthiest NFL team in 2021. And with Week 17 approaching, they’re receiving various tidbits of bad news in that area.
When speaking to the media Monday following a Week 16 win over Jacksonville, head coach Robert Saleh revealed Connor McGovern will be headed to injured reserve. Since a trip to IR causes the player to miss at least three games, the center is out for the remainder of the year.
McGovern exited Sunday’s win with a knee injury. Tight end Trevon Wesco, who also left the victory with a knee injury, is headed to IR as well.
