Jets' David Onyemata: Expected to miss more than four games
Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Onyemata was injured during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, and while that means he will miss at least four games, he is anticipated to be out longer, though head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back before the end of the season. While Onyemata is out of commission, Darrell Jackson, Jowon Briggs, T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips will presumably see more snaps in each game moving ahead.

Jets' David Onyemata: Placed on IR with groin injury
The Jets placed Onyemata (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Onyemata injured his groin during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran defensive tackle to spend time on injured reserve. He's required to miss at least four games, so the earliest Onyemata can return is Week 7 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 25. Darrell Jackson and Jowon Briggs are in line for more rotational defensive snaps behind starters T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips for as long as Onyemata is on the shelf.

Jets' David Onyemata: Unlikely to return Sunday
Onyemata (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.
It's unclear when Onyemata sustained the injury, but it will likely keep him sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Darrell Jackson should see a slight bump in snaps as the team's rotational defensive tackle in Onyemata's absence.
