Chris Herndon suspended first four games of season

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Herndon was expected to be an integral part of new head coach Adam Gase’s offense with and a strong target of quarterback Sam Darnold. Now, for the time being, either Daniel Brown or rookie Trevon Wesco will step in until Herndon returns in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys, as their bye is in Week 4.
