Jets rookie Olu Fashanu will fill in for injured lineman Morgan Moses

New York Jets right tackle Morgan Moses will be sidelined "a couple games" with a knee injury, coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday.

The 33-year-old Moses hurt his left knee on the final play of the third quarter last Thursday night in the Jets' 24-3 win over the New England Patriots.

First-round draft pick Olu Fashanu will fill in for Moses and make his first NFL start Sunday against Denver. It's a significant loss for New York's offensive line, which played well in the first two games, but Moses is expected to return in a few weeks after tests determined it wasn't as severe as some initially feared. "He's going to be a couple games," Saleh said, "but obviously not enough to put him on IR." Saleh wouldn't specify the nature of Moses' injury, saying: "He's just dealing with a knee." Moses was seen in the Jets' locker room before practice with a bulky brace on his left knee.

He would have been forced to sit out at least four games if the Jets placed him on injured reserve. The veteran was acquired by New York from Baltimore in March in a trade that included draft picks, with the Jets also getting a fourth-rounder in exchange for a fourth- and sixth-rounder.
