Andre Cisco Out Indefinitely With Pectoral Tear

Jets safety Andre Cisco suffered a torn pectoral in Sunday’s win over the Bengals that will require surgical repair and has him out indefinitely, according to ESPN, Newsday and CBS. Initial evaluations described the issue as a shoulder problem, but follow-up reporting confirmed the pectoral tear and said a clearer timeline for return should emerge when the team resumes preparation for the Nov. 9 game at Cleveland. Cisco had started every game, played roughly 98% of defensive snaps, and totaled 41 tackles, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery after signing a one-year, $8.5 million deal following four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Cisco sidelined, Tony Adams — who began the year as a starter before being replaced by rookie Malachi Moore — is expected to slide back into the starting role when New York returns from its bye. The Jets have the bye to decide whether to promote from within or pursue veteran help — some analysts have urged targets such as free agent Justin Simmons — as their secondary still lacks an interception this season.
