Jets Rookie Olu Fashanu Out for Season with Foot Injury Requiring Surgery

The promising offensive tackle, drafted 11th overall, sustained the injury during the team's loss to the Rams and will miss the final two games of the year.

Olu Fashanu, the New York Jets' rookie left tackle, has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury diagnosed as plantar fasciitis during the Week 16 loss to the Rams.
The injury will require surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the season, though reports suggest it is not career-threatening and his long-term outlook remains strong.
Fashanu, a standout from Penn State, had started seven games this season and emerged as a key piece of the Jets' offensive line despite being thrust into action earlier than expected due to injuries to veteran players.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich and teammates expressed confidence in Fashanu's future, with Ulbrich calling him a '10-year starter' and praising his versatility and mental toughness.
The Jets, already eliminated from playoff contention, will rely on Max Mitchell to fill in at left tackle for the final two games against the Bills and Dolphins.
