Roster News: Frankie Luvu placed on injured reserve

The Jets made a minor move today:

We've placed OLB Frankie Luvu on IR.

This isn't a major loss for the Jets as they have an abundance of options at the edge defender positions, some of whom deserve a longer look. Luvu had only been averaging 10 defensive snaps per game with just three on Sunday.

Along with the Steve McLendon trade, which was made official today, the Jets have opened up two roster spots which will most likely be used to activate players from injured reserve. Cameron Clark, Denzel Mims, Jabari Zuniga and Arthur Maulet are already practicing and Patrick Onwuasor is also eligible to return to practice and be activated.

Luvu won't be eligible to return until after the bye week.
