FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -New York Jets safety Jim Leonhard has a broken right leg that will require surgery and likely sideline him for the rest of the season.
The team has announced the injury Friday, three days before New York plays at New England for first place in the AFC East on Monday night.
Leonhard has a fractured tibia that will be operated on Friday night at Morristown Memorial Hospital. The team said it wouldn’t have an update on his status until after the surgery. It appears it could be a season-ending injury.
Leonhard, who calls the defensive signals in the secondary, was injured during team drills – which are closed to the media – and carted from the field. The team said Leonhard had no damage to his fibula, ankle or knee.
