Jets RB-RS Leon Washington will need 12 weeks to recover from the fractured fibula he sustained in Week Seven, which is a much better prognosis than many expected for such a serious injury. Washington will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve before hitting free agency, and the Jets are having a hard time replacing him. "That's just a real tough situation and I think everybody has him in their prayers," TE Dustin Keller told PFW. "Leon brings a whole different dimension to our offense. He's a great running back, he comes out of the backfield and runs great routes, he can line up in the slot, out wide. We can put him all over the field. … I think we lose some of the mismatches that we had for Leon at that position. Hopefully we can have a few guys step up and try to fill the void to the best of their abilities."

PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue being released later this month. Produced by PFW's player personnel department under the direction of Nolan Nawrocki, the series consists of four information-packed issues.
