Bowles: New Jet Seferian-Jenkins Will ‘Sink Or Swim On His Own’

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Austin Seferian-Jenkins is getting a quick second chance from the New York Jets.

Coach Todd Bowles is counting on the tight end to make the most of it.

“I don’t have any reservations yet because I haven’t met him,” Bowles said shortly after practice Wednesday. “As I get to know him, obviously, with the situations he’s been in, he’s going to sink or swim on his own.

“We brought in the player. He has a chance to clean his act up, and we’ll see what happens.”

Seferian-Jenkins arrived at the Jets’ facility after practice to complete his physical, and was expected to join his new teammates on the field for the first time Thursday.
