Heading to IR
The Jets placed Tufele (foot) on injured reserve Friday, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tufele was unable to practice all week after suffering a foot injury in the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Saints. With the move to IR, the 26-year-old will finish the season with 12 tackles (five solo). Jowon Briggs and Khalen Saunders are expected to have expanded roles on the defensive line behind Harrison Phillips with Tufele out.
