The New York Jets have placed 18 players on injured reserve in 2019 after adding offensive tackle Chuma Edoga and wide receiver Jeff Smith to the list on Tuesday evening.
In a corresponding move the Jets signed wide receiver Keon Hatcher to the practice squad and released C Ryan Crozier from the P-squad, per the team.
Edoga showed flashes and started eight games this season for the green and white. Although for as many flashes as he displayed, he also showed weaknesses (he allowed seven sacks which was second most on the team) and per ESPN’s Rich Cimini he had the lowest pass-block win rate among all the Jets’ offensive linemen this season.
