The NY Jets announced that linebacker CJ Mosley has been placed on injured reserve.
Mosley appeared in four games this season, starting three and finished with 17 tackles. The 6-2, 231-pound Mosley injured his neck prior to the team’s Week 8 game against the Patriots.
After the Jets’ Week 12 bye, Mosley returned to practice last week but was inactive for a seventh time against the Seahawks.
“Not 100 percent yet,” he told reporters last week. “Today is my first time putting on the helmet, so I don’t want to go too fast. So like I said, it’s been progressing each day, each week. So just kind of staying positive with that. And you know, today I did some more striking and did some line tackling. So that’s really where we are right now. So until I actually hit somebody and can kind of feel the impact of just having, not have my neck like just torquing around, all those different things. Until then, I can’t really give you 100 percent, but definitely going in the right direction.”
Mosley, in his 11th NFL season and fifth with the Jets, played in all 17 games each of the past two seasons and racked up more than 150 tackles in each. He sustained a toe injury against the Titans in Week 2 and then missed three games before returning to action against the Bills and Steelers in Weeks 6-7.
