The New York Jets lose Kris Jenkins for the season

Blogged under Attention Jets Fans,Bloglockers,Front Page,Injury Reports by admin on Monday 19 October 2009 at 9:13 pm

The Jets have lost starting NT Kris Jenkins for the season due to a severe knee injury.  He finishes the season for the Jets with 13 tackles including 4 tackles for a loss.  DE Sione Pouha will slide inside to replace Jenkins at nose guard.  He has 19 tackles including 1 tackle for a loss.  This is a downgrade for the Jets as Jenkins was a better run defender than Pouha is.  Marques Douglas will replace Pouha at DE.  He has 26 tackles this season, 1/2 a sack and he has 2 tackles for a loss.  This injury really will hurt the run defense of the Jets going forward.

UPDATE:  The Jets have re-signed 30-year old Howard Green to help cushion the blow of losing Kris Jenkins.  Green has played in 3 games for the Jets this season and he has 6 tackles.
