Morgan Moses, a key offensive lineman for the New York Jets, recently suffered an injury during a crucial game against the New England Patriots. As the team navigates the aftermath, many are left wondering what happened.
Here is everything to know about Morgan Moses’ injury.
How did Morgan Moses get injured while playing football?
Jets offensive lineman Morgan Moses sustained a knee injury during the third quarter of the team’s Thursday night matchup against the Patriots. The incident occurred just five seconds before the end of the quarter when Moses became entangled with Patriots defender Josh Uche, who successfully sacked Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
As Uche’s momentum carried him, he inadvertently rolled onto Moses’ leg, causing the veteran tackle to collapse in evident pain. Medical staff quickly attended to Moses. While visibly hurt, he managed to walk off the field and head to the medical tent for evaluation. However, he was later placed on a cart for assistance once in the tunnel.
The Jets confirmed that Moses was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a left knee injury. In his absence, rookie Olu Fashanu stepped in to take over the right tackle position. Following the game, head coach Robert Saleh addressed the situation. He revealed that Moses would undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the full extent of his injury.
When will Morgan Moses return to play with the New York Jets?
There has been no official announcement about when Morgan Moses will return to play with the New York Jets.
After the game, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that Morgan Moses reassured him that his knee injury is “not believed to be a severe one.” Although further evaluations are necessary to pinpoint the exact issue, the initial reports suggest he may have escaped any serious long-term damage. This hopeful update offers a sense of relief to the Jets. (via The Jet Press)
