Jim Leonhard will undergo an MRI tomorrow on his right knee. It may not be his ACL,but he will miss the rest of the season, per sources #nyj

This is a big loss for the Jets since Safety is not a position of strength.  Brodney Pool will start in Leonhard’s absence and Jeremly Kerley will return as the punt returner, as he did today.  Manish Mehta also has some additional details here.

Here is a thread with additional information and commentary from our NY Jets message board.
