New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley, who signed a record-setting, free-agent contract last offseason, is done for the season after playing in only two games.
Mosley, who suffered a severe groin injury in Week 1, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. He will have surgery to repair what he described as a groin/abdominal issue.
"It gives us a chance to get him back in the spring and get him going in the offseason program," coach Adam Gase said on The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York radio.
Mosley told ESPN 10 days ago that his hope was that a recent platelet-rich plasma injection would heal the injury, with surgery a last resort.
