JetNation Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 By Glenn Naughton The New York Jets suffered a significant training camp injury at Florham Park today when safety Antonio Allen fell to the turf on a non-contact injury during what was to be the final play of the day. Allen was helped off the field by trainers and was unable to put any weight on his right leg. Following practice, head coach Todd Bowles said the injury was in fact an ACL, but the severity is unknown at this time. Given the news of Allen’s injury, it will likely open the door for Jaiquawn Jarrett and Rontez Miles. View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Jets Waive/Injured Antonio Allen, Sign Corner Lyn Posted 46 minutes ago Eric AllenSr. Reporter/Director, Internet ProgrammingEmail @eallenjets On the Inside Veteran Safety Made 17 Starts the Past Two Seasons A day after Antonio Allen went down in practice, the Jets placed the safety on the waived/injured list. With the roster space, the club signed cornerback Keon Lyn. Allen, who suffered an Achilles injury in a team drill Thursday, could go on the Jets injured reserve list if he clears waivers. The 6’2”, 210-pound Allen, a seventh-round selection out of South Carolina in 2012, recorded 118 tackles, 13 passes defended and 2.5 sacks from 2012-14. Last season, Allen played both safety and cornerback for the Jets while making eight starts. In 2013, the rangy Allen started nine games at safety, collecting two blocked punts on special teams and totaling two touchdowns – including a pick six against the Patriots. Lyn, who most recently signed with the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena League, played in 38 games at Syracuse and totaled 20 passes defended and three interceptions. Originally Lyn signed as an undrafted free agent with the Colts following the 2014 NFL Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Keon Lyn School: Syracuse Position: CB Positive: Three-year starter who played in just five games last season before fracturing a knee. Finished the year with 16 tackles. Junior totals included 46 tackles and 3 interceptions. Underrated defensive back with the size and speed to play at the next level. Aggressive, explosive, and fights throughout the action. Quick flipping his hips transitioning off the line, strong at the point, and physically beats down receivers to defend passes. Defeats blocks and quickly makes his way up the field to stop the run. Negative: Despite his 40-time. does not show great closing speed. Can be a liability in downfield coverage. Quick out of his backpedal, which adversely affects his ability to break to the ball. Analysis: Lyn passes the eyeball test and came into the season with a draftable grade before his injury. He possesses the measurables to make a roster at the next level but must first prove he's healthy then polish every area of his game. http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/CB/Keon-Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have a lot of respect for Allen from last year. Guy was put in a touch spot being asked to play corner back, played hard and never complained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Who has the Syracuse hook up? They have been going after a ton of guys with Syracuse ties. Walls, Eskridge, Jarrod West who they signed and cut the next day for Arthur Williams. I wonder if it is that these late guys are usually area pick ups or if some scout has a lot of pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsjets Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ok he cleared waivers and Jets put him on ir. this is the last year of his contract and is expected to miss the entire season. Is there any benefit to the team to do this or are they just taking care of him. Just asking out of Curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I suppose it's as simple as they are paying his salary anyway so why not let him rehab at their facility so that they have a better handle on his progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I keep reading that he will be an UFA, but won't he be restricted? He will only have 3 years accrued because he won't play in any games this year. They should be able to tender him. Even the low tender (around $1M) would give them right to match the contract and a pick back. Only a 7th, but it is still something. It is also the class thing to do and can generate some inexpensive good will among the other players, agents and the union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
