Petty lands on IR with torn labrum

As expected, Bryce Petty’s audition as the Jets quarterback ended after Saturday’s 41-3 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

The Jets revealed Monday that Petty suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder during the game when he tried to make a tackle after a fumble by Jets running back Khiry Robinson.

The team announced it had placed the second-year quarterback on injured reserve and added linebacker Corey Lemonier to the roster in his place.

Petty, who finished 0-of-3 with an interception in the loss to the Patriots, finished 1-3 as the starter (including the New England game), completing 75-of-133 (56.4 percent) for 809 yards, three touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 60.0 rating.

Unfortunately for Petty, it doesn’t appear he answered any questions definitively about whether he should be the starter in 2017.

Petty got his first extended action when he entered the second half of the Jets 41-10 loss to the Colts in Week 13 and finished 11of-25 for 135 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He had his best performance in a 23-17 overtime win over the 49ers in San Francisco, where he was 23-of-35 for 257 yards and an interception in a comeback victory.

Petty, a fourth-round pick in 2015, will now have to wait until next season to play again. As for Sunday’s game against the Bills, Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to start with rookie second-round draft pick Christian Hackenberg likely to be dressed as the backup for the first time in his career.

Coach Todd Bowles visited doctors Monday to follow up on the health scare he had Friday.

Because of that, Bowles was not available for a tentatively scheduled conference call with reporters Monday.

He is, according to a team source, scheduled to resume his coaching duties Tuesday, when the players reconvene for practices leading up to Sunday’s season finale against the Bills.

Bowles was hospitalized Friday with what he described as kidney stones, gallstones and other gallbladder issues. He spent Friday night in the hospital but was cleared by doctors to fly to New England early Saturday to coach the Jets in their loss to the Patriots.
