Rookie Max Mitchell latest Jets OT lost for season

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' revolving door at offensive tackle continued Wednesday, as they placed rookie right tackle Max Mitchell on the non-football injury list. His season is over.

Mitchell is one of six different players to start at left or right tackle for the Jets, who started losing players in training camp.

George Fant, who recently missed eight games on injured reserve, will replace Mitchell in the lineup Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Coach Robert Saleh declined to disclose the reason for putting Mitchell on the NFI list, saying, "I'm not going to get into specifics right now because there are a lot of things we're trying to sort out.
