The New York Jets are enduring a tough injury-related loss this week during what’s, well, a tough 2020 season, to put it bluntly.
According to head coach Adam Gase, edge rusher Jordan Jenkins will undergo surgery on his shoulder — a health-realted setback that caused him to miss the Week 14 loss to Seattle and led to a recent injured reserve placement.
Jordan Jenkins will need shoulder surgery, Adam Gase said. Brutal entering free agency. #Jets
