The Jets’ can’t seem to shake their bad luck. Guard Kelechi Osemele is set for shoulder surgery, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter). 
Osemele has missed the team’s last two games, including their upset win over the Cowboys on Sunday. Just when things seemed to be turning around for Gang Green, the injury bug reared its head again. The Jets lost wide receiver for the season Quincy Enunwa due to a neck injury, they’re still waiting on linebacker C.J. Mosley‘s return, and they’ll be without one of their star lineman as they look to build on their first W.
The Jets acquired Osemele via trade with the Raiders this offseason with the hope that they would patch up their porous offensive line. So far, that hasn’t happened, and it’ll be even more challenging to open up holes for Le’Veon Bell and protect Sam Darnold‘s spleen from here on out.
The 1-4 Jets will face the Patriots in New Jersey on Monday night.
Huh? Oswmele has been terrible. Lewis played pretty good on Sunday. Osemele was going to be gone at the end of the year anyway. This is a chance for Lewis.
Osmele was once one of the best guards in the league, but he seems to have regressed badly over the last few years. His loss isn’t as backbreaking as you might think it is.
