Jets place Moore on injured reserve

The New York Jets placed rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore on injured reserve Saturday with a quad injury, the team announced.

The Jets are hopeful Moore will only miss three games, according to The Athletic's Connor Hughes.

The first-year wideout didn't practice this week due to the lingering injury.

The 2021 second-round selection has tallied 43 receptions for 538 yards and five touchdowns this season.

Moore's absence is another tough blow to a Jets offense that recently lost receiver Corey Davis for the remainder of the season following core-muscle surgery.

Receivers Keelan Cole, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims will likely be in line for more snaps Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
