Jets’ Allen out for season, Milliner sidelined 6-8 weeks
A seventh-round pick out of USC in 2012, Allen was a Jets safety for his first three seasons, but he was moved to cornerback this past year because of injuries and a lack of depth. He will be placed on their injured reserve list if he clears waivers. “He was having a good camp”.
Notes & quotes: Wide receiver Chris Owusu left practice with an apparent head injury after absorbing a hard hit during team drills. “Just a freak accident”.
Both players were hurt during training camp practice Thursday. Milliner injured a tendon in his right wrist in practice on Thursday and will undergo surgery on Friday. In fact, Milliner was still recovering from a shoulder surgery when the Jets selected him, and they knew that he’d miss all of their organized team activities in his rookie season.
He is entering the final year of his contract and was set to make $1.5 million this season. Last season, he had 41 total tackles and one forced fumble in 15 games (eight starts), a dropoff in production from 2013.
“That was the toughest part, not being able to do anything”, he said.
Lyn is a cornerback who played his football at Syracuse. Lyn originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Indianapolis Colts after the 2014 draft. Bowles had no immediate update on the two. WR Shaq Evans sat out with bruised ribs…. Muhammad Wilkerson (hamstring) did not practice for a fourth straight day.
