The New York Jets are again without Dee Milliner.
The former first-round pick exited Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after suffering an injury during a first-quarter field-goal attempt by Brandon McManus.
Milliner immediately grabbed at his leg and had to be helped off the field by team personnel. He was quickly ruled out for a return.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported after the game that the team believes Milliner tore his Achilles but will have tests on Monday, according to a source informed of the situation. The injury would end his season. After the game, coach Rex Ryan only confirmed it was an Achilles injury.
Milliner has battled with injuries for much of his brief career after being selected with the ninth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He suffered a high ankle sprain this summer that cost him three games. The timing of the injury was extremely bad news for a Jets team that tried -- and failed -- to tame Peyton Manning at the Meadowlands.
In addition, Rapoport reported the team believes starting guard Brian Winterstore his ACL, according to a source who has spoken to him. He will have tests Monday to confirm the injury.
