FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Lucky Whitehead's strange summer took an unfortunate turn on Tuesday, when it was announced by the New York Jets that he will be out indefinitely with a broken left foot.
Whitehead, the team's most experienced punt and kickoff returner, was injured Monday. He was spotted on Tuesday in crutches, wearing a walking boot. Coach Todd Bowles said it's unclear if Whitehead will require surgery.
"I don't know if he's out for the year, but I know he's out for a little while," Bowles said.
It has been an eventful few weeks for Whitehead, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys on July 24 after Virginia police announced it had issued an arrest warrant for a shoplifting charge.
