Rich Cimini of ESPN is reporting that the Jets are placing LG Alex Lewis on the non-football injury list, meaning he’ll miss at least three weeks.
Lewis, who was acquired by GM Joe Douglas prior to the start of last season was given a new contract this offseason and is the team’s second-highest graded offensive lineman behind Mekhi Becton according to the folks at pro football focus.
Dennis Waszak of the Associated Press has fired off a tweet saying Lewis is having some off-field issues that the team is trying to support him through. Just another odd chapter in what will go down as the worst season in team history with the Jets having a very real shot at going winless.
