Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is out for the season with a neck injury. In a Twitter thread Thursday night he blasted the Jets for fining him for missing rehab.
I normally chill on putting issues on twitter, but this doesnt sit right with me.

Given everything that’s going on around the team I thought this could’ve been handled so many different ways. I’ve spent my time with the team trying to build myself up to be dependable and hardworking so this shit hurts. pic.twitter.com/xEUZV69rAJ

I missed those two days, because I took my VETERAN wife out for Veterans Day lunch and because I had to handle an emergency in my house. I let the team know this after the fact, and yes, I should have told them beforehand, but I feel like this was excessive.

I’m on IR trying to get back to play so I never thought that they’d be worried about me missing, but obviously I was wrong.

The biggest reason it hurts is that I’m on IR for the second time in my career and the doctor told me I have a 50/50 chance of coming back to play. I shouldn’t even HAVE to be in that building being reminded everyday of what I can’t do.

This shit feels like punishment already and then they FINE me the max. And then want me to continue to do my rehab there and IF I get healthy they want me to then play for them after.

I’m not writing this for sympathy and never wanted to even say anything, but when multiple teammates are coming to me saying it’s fucked up I don’t care to sit on it anymore.

In case you were wondering who is making these decisions...
For those wondering, it is typically coaches that fine players. My understanding is that this is a Gase thing.

Shocking, I know.
I have no further commentary because none is necessary. This team’s behavior speaks for itself.
