Quincy Enunwa to miss season with neck injury

[gmf1369]

Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa missed the entire 2017 season with a neck injury and it looks like the Jets wideout is going to miss the final 15 games of this season for the same reason.

Brian Costello of the New York Post reported on Wednesday morning that Enunwa will miss the rest of the year after suffering another neck injury against the Bills in Week One. Head coach Adam Gase confirmed the news at his press conference a bit later in the morning.

Enunwa signed a four-year, $36 million extension with the team this offseason, but one has to wonder if Enunwa will be playing again after a second serious neck injury in three years.

The news comes a day after the Jets traded a 2021 sixth-round pick to the Patriots for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. While head coach Adam Gase’s criticism of wideouts seemed to explain that move, Enunwa’s injury makes the need for outside help at receiver even clearer.

Enunwa has been with the Jets since 2014 and has 119 catches, 1,617 yards and five touchdowns over the course of his career.

Not looking good for Q's career if this is true.............................................

I feel for the guy, he's a tough mofo, but, he can't stay healthy and it's time to move on. He's should consider retiring while he can still move.

 

[beresford]

.... and now we know why they moved for Thomas.

sad to hear for Q. gotta wonder if this is the end of his career.

i guess that gase and douglas knew a little more than the typical message board expert when they made the trade for thomas.

That big contract that Mac gave Q sure looks like another bonehead move by Mac.

WOW, feel for him and I hate to be cynical but damn can the Jets ever catch a break here. Hopefully Q can recover for his health forget the game. Jets now have to find another WR and this D. Thomas makes ten times more sense now.

As I said a couple of years back He is a big risk...do feel sorry for him as he does play hard

.... and now we know why they moved for Thomas.

Yep - Enuwa is done. Feel bad - but lets be honest the guy has never been healthy.

Another brilliant move by Mac.

Bad luck for him and us again. I really like the kid but he should and will, I'm sure, retire. I had the neck surgery in my 30's. I would have retired. Not worth risking more. It sucks. You lose some neck mobility and ,at least me, never can sleep through the night because of it

Sad news
Hopefully Quincy makes a full recovery and walks away from the game. I recall a story about him saving his money and taking business classes for life after football, early in this off-season. He has savings from his first contact, $10 million signing bonus plus his guaranteed salary still due him so he has no need to risk his health going forward.
