Milliner & Winters To I.R.

The Jets suffered some injuries during the loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Two of those injuries were to Dee Milliner and Brian Winters. The Jets confirmed yesterday that both players were placed on the injured reserve list.

We have placed CB Dee Milliner (achillies) on Injured Reserve and signed CB Josh Thomas.

Dee Milliner tore his achilles and the timetable for his return could be 9 months. Which means that the Jets # 1 cornerback will be limited throughout the entire offseason program and could miss the beginning of training camp.  Brian Winters has a torn ACL and he was replaced in the starting lineup with Oday Aboushi. Aboushi was a 5th round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Wesley Johnson (OL) and Josh Thomas (CB) were signed to the active roster to replace the spots vacated by Winters and Milliner.   You can read more and continue the discussion in our New York Jets forum.
