The Jets could use all the help they can get. But, for this week, and probably next week, they won’t be getting any aid from tight end Chris Herndon, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. 
Herndon suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain while running routes late last week, ruling him out for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys and, in all likelihood, the Week 7 Monday night game against the Patriots. It’s the latest setback in a frustrating season for both the Jets and the NFL sophomore. Herndon missed the first four games of the season thanks to a suspension and the Jets are 0-4.
Last year, Herndon finished out with 39 receptions for 502 yards and four touchdowns. Unless he goes on a tear in a rocky Jets offense across the final ten games of the year, he probably won’t top those totals this year.
On the plus side: quarterback Sam Darnold is ready to rock and roll and running back Le’Veon Bell says he has no reservations about his workload.
