New York Jets offensive tackle Morgan Moses’ injury diagnosis has been revealed, providing clarity on his expected recovery time. According to NFL Media, Moses suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise.
The injury is anticipated to sideline Moses for two-to-four weeks, dealing a temporary blow to the Jets’ offensive line. Moses, 33, was reacquired by the Jets in March via trade from the Baltimore Ravens, marking his second stint with the team.
In Moses’ absence, first-round pick Ole Fashanu stepped in at right tackle on Thursday night. Fashanu’s performance will be closely watched as he fills the void left by Moses. The Jets’ coaching staff will likely continue to evaluate Fashanu’s progress.
The Jets will have an extended break before hosting the Denver Broncos in Week 4. This brief respite provides an opportunity for Moses to begin his rehabilitation and for Fashanu to solidify his position. As the Jets look to maintain momentum, they’ll rely on Fashanu’s growth and development to anchor the right tackle spot.
