Jets tight end Jace Amaro out for season with torn labrum
New York Jets tight end Jace Amaro was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list with a torn labrum, the team announced Tuesday.
Amaro, a second-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2014 draft, will undergo shoulder surgery to repair the tear. He suffered the shoulder injury in the Jets' preseason opener against the Detroit Lions.
As a rookie, Amaro had 38 receptions for 345 total yards and two touchdowns.
Jeff Cumberland, Kellen Davis, Wes Saxton and Arthur Lynch are the remaining tight ends on New York's roster.
