Chris Herndon’s Jets return suddenly on hold

Sam Darnold is returning this week, but one of his reliable targets seems unlikely to join him.

Jets tight end Chris Herndon was scheduled to re-join the Jets this Sunday after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. However, Herndon suffered a hamstring injury while running routes on his own on Friday, Jets coach Adam Gase said on Wednesday.

Gase told reporters that the injury was a “legit hamstring” and “not ideal.”
