The New York Jets have placed tight end Jeremy Ruckert on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.
The news is not unexpected to the team. SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano reported a week after the draft that head coach Robert Saleh said he hoped that Ruckert would get in some work in the spring.
Back before the draft, Ruckert told reporters he has plantar fasciitis from a foot injury sustained during the Senior Bowl. The ailment kept Ruckert from working out at both the NFL Combine and the Ohio State pro day.
