Jets' Siemian (ankle) reportedly headed for MRI
Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian sustained an ankle injury and exited the field midway through the second quarter of New York's Monday night game against the Cleveland Browns, and he didn't return to action.
The Jets announced in-game that Siemian's ankle ailment was being evaluated. After the Jets' 23-3 loss, multiple media outlets reported that Siemian will undergo an MRI exam Tuesday.
Siemian was injured when he was hit by Browns defensive Myles Garrett after throwing a deep incompletion in East Rutherford, N.J. Siemian's toes pressed into the turf and his left leg twisted as he felt the brunt of the weight of his lower body plus Garrett's body weight falling on him.
Siemian was able to walk off the field and soon was taken into the locker room for observation. He had completed 3 of 6 passes for 3 yards.
Garrett tweeted postgame, "I want to wish @TrevorSiemian a speedy recovery. We put our bodies on the line every single snap, and I wouldn't wish an injury on anyone."
Luke Falk, a former star quarterback at Washington State, replaced Siemian and finished 20 of 25 for 198 yards.
Siemian started Monday because Sam Darnold was out due to mononucleosis.
