Left guard Kelechi Osemele did not practice Saturday and was fined an undisclosed amount of money by the Jets for conduct detrimental to the team, according to a league source. The Jets and Osemele are at odds over the veteran’s shoulder injury.

Osemele said on Friday he has a torn labrum that requires season-ending surgery. He said the Jets’ doctor and another physician he went to for a second opinion said he needed a procedure.
