FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Kelechi Osemele said on Friday that he needs shoulder surgery. The Jets don’t agree. The two sides are at an impasse, but that could change very quickly.
The Jets have not authorized Osemele to have surgery, according to a source familiar with the situation. The source said team doctors examined Osemele and discovered he has a pre-existing condition in his shoulder and that he can continue to play through it.
