Moses was rolled up on from behind in the third quarter on Thursday night. Visibly in pain, it appeared Moses had suffered a serious injury. But he eventually got up and limped off the field with trainers. Moses indicated to NFL Media after the game that he believed his injury wasn’t serious.
The 33-year-old was traded to the Jets from the Baltimore Ravens this offseason as New York worked to revamp its offensive front. Moses is one of three new starters the Jets acquired on the offensive line, along with left tackle Tyron Smith and right guard John Simpson.
