Three key defensive players were lost for the season during Sunday’s NFL games: Jets nose tackle Kris Jenkins, Falcons cornerback Brian Williams and Bengals end Antwan Odom.
Jenkins was placed on injured reserve Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Buffalo.
Jenkins will need reconstructive surgery, as will Williams, who sustained the same injury when the Falcons beat Chicago.
The third veteran defender sidelined was Odom, who entered the weekend tied for the league lead with eight sacks. Odom had surgery for a torn Achilles’ tendon on Monday.
