The Jets placed Alex Lewis on the non-football injury list Friday as he seeks help for an off-the-field issue.
The starting left guard missed last Sunday’s game against the Dolphins and didn’t practice all week, though he did continue to participate in meetings virtually.
Lewis is dealing with some off-the-field issues, two people told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not publicly discussed details of the situation because of privacy issues.
Lewis will have to sit out at least three weeks, but a source said the team will continue to pay the offensive lineman, something they are not required to do, while he is sidelined.
