It was hard for Quincy Enunwa to watch.
The Jets wide receiver missed the 2017 season recovering from surgery to repair a bulging disc in his back. Enunwa was coming off a breakout 2016 where he led the Jets in receiving yards (857) and touchdowns (4) while finishing second in catches (58). He was placed on injured reserve Sept. 1, forced to observe the game from the sidelines and home.
