The hits keep coming for John Idzik’s draft classes.
Tight end Jace Amaro needs surgery on his left shoulder and will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, coach Todd Bowles announced Tuesday.
Amaro, drafted by Idzik in the second round in 2014 out of Texas Tech, has a torn labrum. The Jets previously had been calling it a sprain since he suffered the injury in the team’s first preseason game.
Amaro had 38 receptions for 345 yards and two touchdowns during a mostly disappointing rookie year, and he made headlines in the offseason for engaging in a war of words with former coach Rex Ryan.
