The Jets announced Monday that they have placed QB Bryce Petty on injured reserve and the club has claimed OLB Corey Lemonier off waivers from Detroit.
Petty suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder Saturday against the Patriots while tackling CB Malcolm Butler following a second-quarter turnover. Petty made four starts this season and appeared in five contests, completing 56.4% of his passes for 809 yards with 3 TDs and 7 INTs.
Following the Jets’ loss to the Colts in Week 13, head coach Todd Bowles announced that Petty — barring injury — would start the team’s final four games.
