With only two regular-season games remaining, it's not exactly big news. Nevertheless, the Jets have placed receiver Laveranues Coles on injured reserve, ending his season.
Coles has an ankle injury.
To fill his spot on the roster, the team signed punter Jason Kapinos.
Coles, who turns 30 on December 29, is under contract through 2009. His base salary increases from $3 million to $5 million next season. Absent a restructuring, Coles' time in New York could be done.
