At the outset of every NFL training camp, the first answer many fans and players offer when asked what they hope to see or accomplish is “no injuries”. For the New York Jets, those hopes were met with very good results through the first dozen practices or so. Since then however, the team has taken a beating in the trainer’s room, and especially along their offensive and defensive lines.
The team lost star pass-rusher Carl Lawson for the season with a ruptured ahcilles tendon which was a huge blow to a defensive line that was expected to be one of the best in the NFL.
