Chris Herndon‘s second NFL season may end up including just one game. Adam Gase said Monday the promising tight end suffered a fractured rib in his Week 10 debut, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News (on Twitter).

Guard Brian Winters‘ season is also in jeopardy. The seventh-year blocker is unlikely to play again this season after he suffered a dislocated shoulder, Gase said (via ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini, on Twitter). Surgery is in play for Winters, Cimini tweets. Shoulder trouble sidelined Winters over the summer, but he started all nine Jets games this season.

Herndon began his season with a four-game suspension and did not debut until Week 10 because of a hamstring injury. He may have 10 months before he can rebound. Two seasons remain on Herndon’s rookie deal. Winters, however, has a non-guaranteed $7M remaining on his deal. Considering how new GM Joe Douglas has proceeded with Mike Maccagnan offensive line investments, Winters may have played his final down as a Jet.

Brian Winters didn’t just suffer a shoulder dislocation. I’m told he actually tore the entire front part of his shoulder in preseason. He played in excruciating pain with a brace all season. Never complained.

He was even advised to have surgery earlier, but refused.

Tough SOB

I wasn't aware that the initial injury was that bad. Guess that might explain why he's been inconsistent.

Don't they wear pads which are supposed to protect their ribs? Herndon was obviously working out with Milliner during his suspension.

Ribs are almost always exposed , no pads. They are available but few players will wear them. It restricts motion, adds weight. Players wear as little padding as possible. Look at how much smaller pads have become.
