Loss For Jets

The Jets suffered a huge loss for Monday night's game when Safety Jim Leonhard was carted off the practice field with a broken leg.

This is a huge loss for the Jets as he was their defensive signal caller and one of the leading tacklers. The Jets will make the necessary adjustments, but it's tough to lose a player.

The Pats announced that RG Stephen Neil is done for the season with a shoulder injury. Neil had missed the last three games. The team needed to move in another direction with his roster spot.

This shows the precarious state of NFL rosters in December. The Pats might win this game, but in the end, so much depends on having healthy players on the roster going into the playoffs.

It's hard to see how the teams could play an 18 game regular-season schedule.
