New York Jets: Eric Decker Placed On IR, Will Likely Miss Remainder Of Season

Can it possibly get any worse?

If a 1-4 New York Jets football team was bad, a 1-4 unit minus Eric Decker is even worse.

Today, it was announced that the 29-year-old wideout, currently in his third season with Gang Green, will likely miss the rest of the season with a torn rotator cuff. Decker is expected to need surgery to repair the injury.

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s No. 2 option had only played in three games this season prior to going down. In those contests, he caught nine passes for 194 yards, finding his way into the end zone twice.
