Jets safety Marcus Gilchrist suffered a torn patella tendon in the second half of Sunday’s win over the 49ers and will miss the rest of the season, Jets coach Todd Bowles told reporters.

Gilchrist, 28, had two interceptions and a forced fumble this season.

Gilchrist hasn’t missed a start since 2012, his second year with the Chargers. He came to the Jets prior to the 2015 season. Gilchrist has made 69 career starts and has 10 career interceptions.
