Jets lose DT Jenkins to ACL tear
Jets' Kris Jenkins done for season
By Rich Cimini ESPNNewYork.com FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Kris Jenkins' season is over. You have to wonder about his career as well. The New York Jets' nose tackle tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. It's the same knee that required reconstructive surgery last October, putting Jenkins' career in jeopardy. Jenkins, 31, a former Pro Bowl selection, was hurt in a first-quarter pile-up. He left the game and didn't return. After the game, the Jets anticipated the possibility of a season-ending injury, with one source telling ESPNNewYork.com there was a 50-50 chance it would end his season. Jenkins went for an MRI exam Tuesday morning, confirming the tear. The previous injury to that knee also involved the ACL. It was repaired in October with a graft, using a tendon from his hamstring. He made a strong recovery, dropped more than 30 pounds and reported to training camp in terrific shape at 359 pounds. He was looking forward to a bounce-back season, but it lasted only six plays. A year ago, the Jets compensated for Jenkins' absence and still finished No. 1 in overall defense. But now their depth will be tested. In the preseason, the Jets lost defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (Achilles tendon). http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angele...ory?id=5571834

Re: Jets lose DT Jenkins to ACL tear
When I saw it go down and heard the announcers say that it was the same knee as last year, I had to wonder aloud why on earth was he not wearing a brace???
