The injury-ravaged New York Jets offense took another hit.
Gang Green announced on Wednesday they've placed running back Bilal Powell on injured reserve.
The tailback exited Week 7 with the neck issue that will shelve him for at least eight weeks, likely ending his season.
Coach Todd Bowles said Powell will need surgery. He described his injury as similar to wideout Quincy Enunwa's and adds it might be worse.
The 29-year-old veteran, who has spent his entire eight-year career with the Jets, is set to be a free agent in 2019.
Losing Powell is the latest injury to the Jets' offense.
In the backfield Isaiah Crowell is the lead runner -- he too has been dealing with a foot/ankle injury but practiced fully today -- with rookie Trenton Cannon slated for a backup role. Elijah McGuire has been practicing and is eligible to come off IR next week if fully cleared. McGuire could return to a hefty role soon.
The Jets signed safety Ibraheim Campbell to take Powell's spot on the active roster.
