The New York Jets placed wide receiver Santonio Holmes on injured reserve Wednesday with a Lisfranc injury in his left foot.
Holmes suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers after making a catch. He immediately fell to the ground without being contacted and let go of the ball, which 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers promptly returned for a 51-yard touchdown
The seven-year veteran was unable to put any weight on his left leg and was carted off the field.
Holmes finishes the season with 20 receptions for 272 yards and a touchdown.
This is the second significant injury for the Jets this season as the team already lost superstar cornerback Darrelle Revis due to an ACL injury.
To fill Holmes' roster spot, the Jets signed wideout Jason Hill, who has caught 76 passes for 1,028 yards and eight touchdowns in 50 career games with San Francisco and Jacksonville.
