Jets' Jace Amaro expects a big year after 2015 shoulder injury

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Finally healthy, Jace Amaro expects big things this season.

“I plan on getting involved at lot this season,” the Jets tight end said Wednesday on Day 2 of OTAs.

After suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in the first game of the 2015 preseason, Amaro is determined to prove his worth in Chan Gailey’s offense.

That might be harder than it sounds, though.

The tight end group, which also lost Zach Sudfeld (ACL) in training camp, was practically a non-factor last year, combining for only eight catches. And in Todd Bowles’ first year as head coach, Amaro was on the sideline nursing an injury.
