Connor McGovern Fantasy

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said on Monday that the team was placing center Connor McGovern (knee) and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer (calf) on Injured Reserve after the suffered injuries in the Week 8 overtime win over the New York Giants. The good news is both players will have a chance to return in 2023, but they'll have to sit out at least four games first. McGovern suffered a dislocated kneecap on Sunday, but there's a chance he could avoid surgery. The Jets' offensive line is a bit vulnerable right now with McGovern, Schweitzer and Joe Tippmann (quadriceps) all injured. Heading into a Week 9 clash against the Los Angeles Chargers next Monday night, Xavier Newman is expected to start at center.

New York Jets center Connor McGovern (knee) suffered a dislocated kneecap in the Week 8 win over the New York Giants, according to sources. The good news is that there's a chance that he won't need surgery. McGovern will get a second opinion and is considered week-to-week as of now. The 30-year-old didn't suffer a season-ending injury, but it's a good bet that he will miss some time and won't be available in Week 9 to face the Los Angeles Chargers. The Jets offensive line is pretty banged up right now with Joe Tippmann (thigh) and Wes Schweitzer (calf) also injured. Xavier Newman is likely to start at center for the Jets for as long as McGovern is out.

The New York Jets re-signed center Connor McGovern to an undisclosed deal on Monday. McGovern started all 17 games for the Jets last year and was the only player on the team to take every snap on offense (1,114) and one of only six Jets to play 1,000-plus scrimmage snaps. He played three seasons with the Denver Broncos before joining Gang Green in 2020. The former fifth-round draft pick played right guard as a rookie in Denver before switching full time to center in 2019. McGovern has played 3,055 offensive snaps in his three seasons in New York, the most on the team in that span and 32nd most in the NFL in the last three years. The 29-year-old is expected to be snapping the football to quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2023.
