FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Marcus Maye suffered an ankle injury in Sunday’s loss in Denver and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks, a league source confirmed.
"Should be back fully healthy just before the trade deadline," Maye’s agent Erik Burkhardt tweeted.
It’s no secret Maye is unhappy he’s playing this season under a franchise tag and that a long-term deal couldn’t be worked out with the Jets. But his injury is a big hit to a young defense that already is missing key players.
The Jets lost starting safety LaMarcus Joyner for the season with a triceps injury in Week 1.
