The Jets won their battle against Miami Yesterday but they lost a soldier in the war that is the NFL Season. All-Pro Cornerback Darrelle Revis tore his ACL and is out for the season. According to Conor Orr/The Star-Ledger :
Revis was approaching Miami running back Daniel Thomas, who had just received a screen pass in open space. Before Revis could get to Thomas, though, he buckled awkwardly and fell to the ground grabbing his left knee.
He eventually walked off the field under his own power and was seen moving without a crutch following the game last night.
This is a major blow to the Jets Defense. When you have a shut down corner, teams will rarely throw to that side for fear of a turnover. With Revis out for the season, Rex Ryan will have to adjust his schemes to account for Revis’ absence. Well he better start planning now because the Jets face the 49ers and Texans up next.
