How Jets' unique TE group could help injury-plagued offense vs. Vikings

The Jets may have a depleted wide receiver corps entering Sunday's game against the Vikings, but they're far from short on pass catchers.

After all, this is a team that carries four tight ends - all of whom play regularly, when healthy.

Take last week's win over the Colts for example. Neal Sterling got the start, but all four tight ends - including Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett and Eric Tomlinson - played between 31 and 51 percent of the snaps.

Frankly, that's not a normal practice around the NFL.
