Jets may have lost Milliner for season with Achilles

BY NICK ST. DENIS

The insult is the New York Jets' secondary. The injury is cornerback Dee Milliner.

Milliner, the team's oft-injured No. 1 cover guy, left the field in the first half the Jets' 31-17 loss to the Denver Broncos after sustaining a non-contact injury. By early accounts, it doesn't look good.

According to the NY Daily News, the Jets believe Milliner sustained a season-ending Achilles ailment.

He'll undergo further testing, but Jets coach Rex Ryan said after the game he "would assume" Milliner would be out for a while.
