FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The winless New York Jets are losing games and players.
Safety Marcus Maye, the Jets' longest-tenured player and one of their top defenders, will be sidelined three to four weeks with a sprained ankle, a league source confirmed with ESPN.
Maye played every defensive snap last Sunday in the 26-0 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't mentioned by coach Robert Saleh in the post-game injury report. He showed up on Wednesday's report after missing practice. The NFL Network first reported the severity of Maye's injury.
Maye's agent, Erik Burkhardt, tweeted that his client "should be back healthy just before the trade deadline" on Nov.
