WR Scotty McKnight to IR; Jets Re-Sign Michael Campbell To PS

by bobdolethesnapplelady on Nov 1, 2011 4:32 PM EDT

In a bit of surprising news, the Jets have announced today that WR Scotty McKnight, a practice squad player, has a torn ACL. He will be placed on injured reserve. The Jets have re-signed WR Michael Campbell to fill his spot on the practice squad.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really like McKnight and think he has the potential to be a Wayne Crebet-type wide receiver. I'm not happy to hear about this setback, although for the team's short-term, it makes absolutely zero difference. Campbell has been cut enough from the Jets that he probably doesn't have a future here, so this is just a filler spot. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

The kid had to keep himself healthy if he ever wanted to see the field.

This is beyond a bad break for him. He’s not on this team to begin without Mark and he stands zero chance of playing in this league if he can’t keep himself healthy on the P squad. Not good.

Unless Kerley get hurts, this is insignificant

With a healthy Kerley he didn’t have much of a chance anyway, but tough break for sure!

S McKnight didn't even get preseason playing time

He must have showed very little. I don’t know if he’ll “recover” from this.

He had a touchdown against the Eagles.

And I think that was his only catch. But on point, he didn't get playing time.

it reallystinks and agree about sad

it would have been cool if he had a chance to get in a real game some day and catch a pass from Sanchez, but probably have to agree with Can’ Wait about staying healthy. Hopefully he showed the coaches stuff that stuck and he gets a chance again.
