FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Jets placed safety Antonio Allen on the season-ending injured reserve list Monday and activated defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson from the active/physically unable to perform list.
Allen tore an Achilles tendon during practice last Thursday. He was placed on the waived/injured list, cleared waivers over the weekend and placed on the Jets’ IR list. Allen, a seventh-round draft pick from South Carolina in 2012, was injured on a non-contact play in team drills when he came out of his stance and then fell to the ground.
