Jets lose TE Herndon, OL Winters to injuries


The New York Jets could be without tight end Chris Herndon and right guard Brian Winters for a while.

Winters left Sunday’s 34-27 victory against the New York Giants after re-dislocating his shoulder, while Herndon departed after fracturing a rib.

According to a Jets team reporter, Winters might be done for the season and Herndon will be out for an extended period of time.

Winters, 28, was New York’s third-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He has started nine games this year and 79 of his 89 career games.

Herndon, 23, the Jets’ fourth-round pick in 2018, made his season debut Sunday and caught one pass for 7 yards. He was suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy and then missed the next four games with a hamstring injury.

Herndon caught 39 passes for 502 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (12 starts) as a 2018 rookie.
