Darrelle Revis will be out for the New York Jets as he will undergo surgery on his knee Thursday, October 18th, and has been placed on season ending injured reserve. The Jets' originally delayed placing Revis on IR with hopes that he would be able to return from surgery and recovered and ready to play in time for the Super Bowl, IF the Jets were to make it to the Super Bowl. Rookie Safety Antonio Allen has been named to fill Revis' spot. Along with Revis being out, Eric Smith sprained his knee during practice this past Thursday and will miss this Sunday's game as well as receiver Santonio Holmes had surgery on his foot this past Wednesday and linebacker Josh Mauga had surgery this past Friday to repair a torn pectorial muscle.
"I know I had said before about Darelle that I'd like to wait for him to have surgery before we placed him on IR or not. Unfortunately with that time situation, you've had Eric Smith out htis week, we're going to need that roster spot." -Rex Ryan
