The struggling Jets defense got dealt a blow they can little afford as linebacker Quincy Williams has landed on short-term IR. After leaving Sunday’s loss early, head coach Aaron Glenn said the linebacker would undergo further evaluation, which now ends with him missing at least four games.
Williams was one of the few Jets players off to a fast start this season, having already logged 1.5 sacks through three games, putting him on pace to shatter his previous high of three in a new and more aggressive Jets defensive scheme.
With Williams out, the Jets poached linebacker Mark Robinson off of the New England Patriots practice squad.
