The Jets' injury issues just got even worse.
Running back Bilal Powell was placed on injured reserve Wednesday after sustaining a neck injury against the Vikings in Week 7. That leaves the Jets with just two running backs -- Isaiah Crowell, who is battling a foot injury, and rookie Trenton Cannon -- on the current roster.
At best, this move means Powell will miss eight weeks, but that timeframe would set him up for a Week 16 return. It's far more likely that his season is finished.
