New York Jets special teams ace Irvin Charles will be placed on season-ending injured reserve after tearing the ACL in a knee last weekend. Charles was hurt while covering a punt early in the fourth quarter of New York’s 32-26 overtime loss at Miami. After missing the game against the Dolphins with a hamstring injury, cornerback Sauce Gardner appears on track to return Sunday against Jacksonville. The status of running back Breece Hall remains uncertain, though, because of an MCL injury and hyperextension in his left knee that sidelined him at Miami.
