Jordan Leggett Ruled Out for Week 1: Jets vs. Bills Injury Report

Jets rookie tight end Jordan Leggett will not make his NFL debut Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. After sitting out three straight practices with a knee injury, the Jets ruled Leggett out for Week 1.

It is a lot to ask a rookie tight end to contribute right off the bat. That is especially true for a fifth round rookie. The early going was still an opportunity for Leggett to earn playing time going forward. Austin Seferian-Jenkins is suspended for the first two weeks of the regular season, opening up some playing time at the position.

Leggett won’t receiving those extra snaps this week.

The full Friday injury report is posted below.
