#Jets S Rontez Miles underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus and is out 3-4 months, source said. He’s a possible Injured Reserve/to return candidate. A blow to depth.

Miles is expected to miss several months. The hope is that he could return midway through the season. Miles was the Jets’ third safety last year behind Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye. Miles is the longest-tenured defensive player on the Jets, joining the team in 2013.
