Although McGovern will miss the upcoming Tampa Bay and Buffalo games, it is a positive that he won’t need to spend his offseason rehabbing an ACL injury.
McGovern will be joined on injured reserve by Trevon Wesco who suffered an undisclosed knee injury against Jacksonville.
We've placed C Connor McGovern and TE Trevon Wesco on IR.

In other news, it comes as no surprise but Saleh indicated the Jets are unlikely to get Mekhi Becton back this season.

There is some good news on the horizon, however. It sounds like some of the players who were recently placed on the list could be near their return.
Fatukasi and JFM are expected back from the COVID list, Saleh said.

Jets are now at 23 players on the COVID list. Robert Saleh said they expect to get some guys off the list in the next few days.

Saleh himself could be on the verge of returning after missing Sunday’s victory over Jacksonville.
