Jets mysteriously pull plug on starting linebacker

The Jets made a few roster moves Saturday afternoon. The biggest was placing starting LB Erin Henderson on the reserve-non-football injury/illness list.

The reason was unknown, but means Henderson likely will not return this season. Technically, Henderson could be the one player the Jets bring back off of a reserve list this season after eight weeks, but that seems unlikely. The Jets also placed backup TE Braedon Bowman on injured reserve with a knee injury.

They signed LBs Victor Ochi and Julian Stanford from the practice squad. Without Henderson, the Jets are down two of their top three inside linebackers Sunday.
