Already labeled in some quarters a draft bust, Jets cornerback Dee Milliner has had another setback.
Milliner suffered a tendon injury in his right wrist at Thursday’s practice and will have surgery today. He is out six to eight weeks, meaning he’ll miss the start of the regular season.
Of course, Milliner has been so bad in his first two years that there has been talk he might not even be on the roster when the regular season starts. This injury raises even more questions about what kind of future he has.
The ninth overall pick in the 2013 draft, Milliner has started 14 regular-season games. This year he’s competing for a roster spot as a backup, with Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie as the starting cornerbacks.
