FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets figured they would be getting two big parts of their offense back this week, but now tight end Chris Herndon is out.
Herndon suffered a hamstring injury while running routes last Friday and likely will miss Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. Herndon just finished serving his four-game suspension and was supposed to rejoin the team for practice Wednesday.
“It’s severe enough that he won’t be practicing today,” Adam Gase said. “We’ll see if we can get him back towards the end of the week. It’s a legit hamstring.”
Hamstrings are a tricky injury, and Gase characterized Herndon as “week-to-week,” which is an indication he won’t play Sunday.
