| Jets RB Leon Washington's Recovery Time Is 12 Weeks | | |
Jets RB/KR Leon Washington will need 12 weeks to recover from the fractured fibula he sustained in Week Seven, which is a much better prognosis than many expected for such a serious injury. Washington will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve before hitting free agency, and the Jets are having a hard time replacing him. "That's just a real tough situation and I think everybody has him in their prayers," TE Dustin Keller told PFW. "Leon brings a whole different dimension to our offense. He's a great running back, he comes out of the backfield and runs great routes, he can line up in the slot, out wide. We can put him all over the field. … I think we lose some of the mismatches that we had for Leon at that position. Hopefully we can have a few guys step up and try to fill the void to the best of their abilities."
