BALTIMORE -- New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold won't have his top red-zone threat for the remainder of the season, as tight end Ryan Griffin was placed on injured reserve Thursday before their game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Griffin already had been ruled out after suffering an ankle injury last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. His roster spot was filled by backup offensive lineman Brent Qvale, who was activated from IR.
The Jets (5-8), who have 15 players on IR, needed another body to dress for the game because they had only 45 healthy players.
