Leki Fotu and Kenny Yeboah Land on Short-Term IR

With their season opener less than two weeks away, the Jets will be without a pair of players who would have otherwise been active on game day in Leki Fotu and Kenny Yeboah.

Fotu is the bigger story as he would have certainly been a key player in the middle of the defense as a primary run stopper while Yeboah would likely have only seen a handful of snaps.

Both players are on short-term IR and were designated to return which means they will have to sit out for the first four games of the season but will be eligible to return after that.
