Maye put on IR, ending season

The season of secondyear Jets safety Marcus Maye came to an early ending Saturday when the team placed him on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

It ends an injury-plagued year for Maye, who was the Jets’ second-round pick in 2017. Maye injured his ankle in the final game of last season, which led to offseason surgery. He returned late in training camp but was again sidelined to start the season, missing the first three games of the year.

Maye, 25, then broke his right thumb in October in a game against the Colts. He missed the next week’s game. He then injured his shoulder three weeks ago against the Bills.

Maye finished the year with one interception.

Darryl Roberts replaced Maye last week and is expected to be the Jets starter at safety against the Titans. The Jets also signed safety Jeremy Clark off the prac- tice squad. He was a sixthround pick in 2017.

There are not many Jets players who have a legitimate case for making the Pro Bowl, but kicker Jason Myers is one.

Besides Jamal Adams, it is hard to come up with a Jet having a better season. Myers has made 23 of 25 field goals this season and has kicked 42 touchbacks on his kickoffs, sixth-best in the league.

The Jets picked Myers up off waivers in August after the Seahawks cut him. That had been the second time in a year that Myers had been cut. The Jaguars dumped him last October after three years with the team.

“I worked hard since I got let go in Jacksonville to kick up to my potential,” Myers said this past week. “It’s nice to see it come full circle and kick the way I know I’m capable of kicking week in, week out.”
