The New York Jets’ tight end situation moves from bad to worse

On Tuesday, New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft was placed on injured reserve with a lung laceration. Just a week earlier, tight end Daniel Brown was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.

Heading into the season, the Jets rostered four tight ends: Tyler Kroft, Ryan Griffin, Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco (whose role is primarily fullback). Undrafted free agent Kenny Yeboah holds a spot on the practice squad as well.

It’s safe to say that the position represented a weak point of the depth chart heading into the season.
