Chris Herndon (hamstring) reportedly sitting for Jets until Week 8

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon (hamstring) is out Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys and likely Week 7 against the New England Patriots, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Herndon suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain while running routes on his own last Friday. It's believed to be a minor pull, but it looks like it'll be at least two more weeks before Herndon makes his season debut. The 23-year-old tight end was eligible to make his season debut this week after serving a four-game suspension.

Herndon caught 39 passes for 502 yards and 4 touchdowns on 56 targets as a rookie last season.
