FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets safety Antonio Allen is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, and cornerback Dee Milliner will be sidelined up to two months with a wrist injury that requires surgery.
The team announced the injuries Friday morning after both players were hurt during training camp practice Thursday.
Allen, hurt in a team drill at the end of practice, was placed on the waived/injured list, but could be added to injured reserve if he clears waivers.
The Jets signed former Syracuse cornerback Keon Lyn to take Allen’s roster spot.
Milliner injured a tendon in his right wrist, the latest in a series of setbacks for the team’s first-round pick in 2013. He had just recently been cleared for team activities after injuring his Achilles tendon last October.
