Anderson develops fumble-itis

During the past two Jets games, Robby Anderson has only been noticeable for the wrong reason. The wide receiver has fumbled in each of the past two games and has not been a big part of the Jets’ offense.

They sent two or three guys at him almost every other play. But Leonard caused a lot of other people to make plays and that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. I’m happy with what he did.”

Bowles said he did not think the Jets suffered any serious injuries in the game. CB Buster Skrine (knee) and WR Charone Peake (hamstring) left the game early.

The Jets signed WR ArDarius Stewart to their practice squad after cutting him Wednesday. They cut WR Deontay Burnett to clear the spot.
