FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Lucky Whitehead’s summer of misfortune took another painful turn Tuesday, when the Jets announced that the wide receiver and kick returner has a broken foot and will be out for an extended period.
“I don’t know if he is down for the year, but he’s out for a little while,” coach Todd Bowles said of Whitehead, who suffered the injury Monday. Bowles said it is not clear whether surgery is required.
The Jets signed Whitehead last month after the Cowboys released him following a case of mistaken identity that resulted in an arrest warrant being issued to Whitehead.
