JetNation Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Jets TE/FB Josh Baker sustained a season ending knee injury in last night’s preseason game with the Carolina Panthers: The Daily News has learned that TE Josh Baker is believed to have suffered at least a torn right ACL that will sideline him for the season. Baker is having a MRI on Monday morning to confirm the diagnosis. Source: Manish Metha / NY Daily News Baker was looking to have an increased role with the offense this season as he was capable of playing in the backfield or up close to the line, the h-back position. The Jets will be searching other team’s cuts to add depth as they are thin at TE and FB. The Jets even started using LB Nick Bellore at the FB spot during portions of practice. UPDATE: The Jets have waived/injured Baker so once he clears waivers Baker will be put on season ending reserved/injured (IR). Baker’s agent RT @howardshatskyJets waiving-injured TE Josh Baker. Revert 2 their IR List. Josh would like 2 thank Jets 4 the opportunity — Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) August 27, 2012 Follow Me: View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Damn. I was hoping he'd jump ahead of Cumberland on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If he was waived/injured, the Pats will probably snatch him up and play him next year like the Giants' TE they scooped up. They're going to revolutionize the game by going for that no-back, no-WR, 5-TE alignment on all downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I can see looking for replacement TE's, but playing Bellore at FB cause we are thin there... so management that worried about Conner getting it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Probably means Connor is safe. At least safer. Baker was the guy that could play FB/TE. I think Cumberland and Keller and kind of similar and more WR/TE hybrid types, while Baker was an H-back. I assume they will look for either a banger at TE or another H-back depending on what Sparano wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Shancoe will likely be cut. Hope so...that would be a wise pick up for the Jets. Sucks to hear about Baker. Season ending in the preseason...sh*t sucks. 3 years in a row thats happened to the Jets. Ropati, Turner and now Baker, all guys who could have helped the roster too.

Season ending in the preseason...sh*t sucks. 3 years in a row thats happened to the Jets. Ropati, Turner and now Baker, all guys who could have helped the roster too. It really happens to every team. As much as it sucks to say, the Jets have to feel kind of lucky that it's happened to the guys that it has. In recent years, it's only been backup guys and none of their important starters. Imagine if Mangold was knocked out for the year in the preseason? Holy crap, that'd be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Turner ended up killing us because we didnt have the necessary depth when Mangold got banged up. He was the all purpose back-up. Baker hurts too because we have zero depth at TE. And if Keller's injury is serious at all, we're going to be really thin at TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Landry cant cover Hernandez and Gronk. Actually probably can;t cover neither one of them.

Oh yeah, won't disagree with that, but those issues have more to do with the Jets poor depth than the vital nature of those particular players to the team. I'm just saying, there's a lot of teams out there who have gotten it a lot worse in the preseason than the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Brady is going to have much time back there, And I like this whole idea of quoting a person's post and entering a reply that has nothing to do with the quoted post.
