Jets' Bilal Powell out for the season with neck injury

The Jets have lost another key player for the season as starting running back Bilal Powell was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.

Powell, the longest-tenured Jet, hurt his neck in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. It’s possible that was Powell’s last game as a Jet since he will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

A fourth-round pick in 2011, Powell rushed for 343 yards on 80 carries, and also caught 11 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown this season.

The Jets could look to sign or deal for a running back before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
