The New York Jets have been trapped in a standoff with left guard Kelechi Osemele. Osemele has a torn labrum in his shoulder, which he feels requires surgery. However, the team believes he does not need surgery, and that he can play through the pain and have the surgery in the offseason.
Osemele did not practice on Saturday due to the shoulder injury and the team fined him in response. Now, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, he is prepared to file a grievance with the NFLPA, as he feels he is physically unable to practice.
