Who?

Can someone explain how this is possible? So this guy just got hurt in practice for us? We either just have the worst luck ever or this guy was already hurt and our medical staff sucks again...as always...I mean holy crap

Per the interwebs:

The big one comes with the Injured Reserve list. Once, being put on IR meant the player's season was over. Then the league started allowing two players to come back, as long as they sat out eight games. That was shortened to three games when Covid hit (although there was a separate Covid list.)

Now, the rule is that a player must miss at least four games after going on IR before they can return. But teams can now bring back as many as eight players from IR, and in an even bigger changed, teams can bring back a particular player twice (it used to be a player could only return once from IR). If a player comes back twice, it counts as two of the eight slots.

 

So he can come back for week 5.  Not season ending.

Grant Hermanns.  UDFA out of Purdue.  The guy was tough enough to take on Michael Clemons in training camp.  I don't don't know if that means he has guts.  Or he is just plain crazy.

We are in trouble.

Wayne Hunter was a real life tough sob too...

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Let’s go Grant!! He was beating everyone at camp, that’s why he was always fighting. 

[varjet]

I have been thinking about this.  
 

The big issue here was what JD and the Jets medical staff were thinking about the condition of Becton’s knee and Becton generally.   Neither were obviously ready.  They should have known what they had in April.  Maybe that meant a different draft and free agent approach.   
 

But this entire situation is a black mark on the organization generally.  We will be drafting another QB this Spring. 

[AFJF]

Hermanns shouldn't see the field.  SHOULDN'T.

He was injured Monday.  
He signed, practiced and played in the preseason.  
Blaming the medical staff is old.  Everything that goes wrong doesn’t have to have a villain to blame

Third option is he's stupid.

[Hal N of Provo]

For a while through camp I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of injuries…

[Nixhead]

So what exactly is wrong with Duane Browns shoulder? Is it possibly season ending or just a 4 week thing? The guy hasn’t missed a game in 40 years - signs with the Jets and instant injury. Can’t play. No one says why.

So just bad luck ...ok ...very believable

Tin foil hat theory inspired by @Augustiniak

We still needed backup tackle depth after Brown was signed. What if the Jets liked how Mitchell was progressing but weren't ready to completely rely on him with a young qb. Wilson injury happens and rather than burn even more cap space on a vet T they decide to take the opportunity to IR Brown with a mystery injury and get Mitchell some game experience. Also gives the old vet a nice break to start the season while he gets back in game shape.

Joe Douglas is an incredible GM.

[SuicidalSince98]

Brown robbed us.

Yeah, how football works

Unless you can explain how he passed a physical, practiced, played in a preseason game, practice another week and then injures his shoulder and it’s the medical staffs fault.

Not really going to make me feel better if someone is to blame but it’s not

I, for one, have been excited all training camp for Hermanns Muenster.

No, I still blame Joe Namath.

Strong guys usually are

[Irish Jet]

Said we needed two tackles signed when it obvious what Becton was. Extreme negligence.

Moses should have been resigned with assurances that he would start.

Well, yeah, us old timers know all to well that Namath sold the teams future for that one SB win.

Fant is injured and making a late switch to LT, starting a rookie RT and probably activating a practice squad player for the sole OT to back them up 

Tomlinson and AVT need to show up in a big way. LaFleur needs to be smart here.   Use those TEs to help. A LOT

[oatmeal]

Brown pulled a finesse of epic proportions ?

Sorry fellas.  I jinxed it.

My post stated a few days ago “Brown will Never play a Down for NYJ, but will make a lot of money”.  Even though the guy never gets hurt during his quite long career, come to the Jets and this is what happens.

I understand that during the offseason, it was a decision between Becton and Moses, and I gave JD the benefit of the doubt, but now it's clear that...

I actually have more faith in Fant playing LT than I did in him playing RT. I just don't have faith he'll finish the entire season, and we're going to be forced to see Connor McDermott starting games.

He has Tons of company.

In fact I bet there is some kind of book floating around the Underground Economy of the NFL on the steps needed to score that one last big payday without ever having to play anymore and risk a cushy retirement, from the NFL’s “red headed step-child”...the NY Jets....there have been just so many guys who have gotten down on that gravy train.

[BurnleyJet]

Signing a 37 year old tackle was always going to work out. JD once again fails to fix the line. It proves to be his Achilles heel.
