Bryce Petty Injury: Jets QB to Undergo Shoulder Surgery

New York Jets quarterback Bryce Petty suffered a torn labrum in Week 16 against the New England Patriots, ending his season.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Petty will undergo surgery this week, per Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Petty entered the second half of New York's 41-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13 and proceeded to finish 11-of-25 for 135 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Bowles had said the Baylor product would start the final four games of the season after the defeat.

The signal-caller had 809 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions coming into the matchup with the Patriots.

Petty was a fourth-round pick in 2015, and the decision to turn the role over to him in this lost season was made with an eye toward the future. Bowles likely saw an opportunity for the Jets to evaluate what they have and give the youngster some game reps.

While the 25-year-old's injury cuts into his development, Petty should be ready for next season.
