Casey, who signed a three-year, $12M contract in March, will miss the rest of spring workouts. He is expected to be ready for training camp. It's a setback for a player trying to learn Chip Kelly's offense and competing for snaps with both Brent Celek and rookie Zach Ertz. Casey was barely on the TE2 radar anyway.

Chris Ivory locked in as Jets featured runner

The New York Post says Chris Ivory is sitting pretty as the Jets' feature back.
Mike Goodson's future is unclear following his ugly drug and weapons arrest, and Joe McKnight is reportedly not a favorite of new GM John Idzik. That leaves only Ivory and Bilal Powell, who has averaged 3.72 YPC through two NFL seasons. The Jets are going to have to lean heavily on the run game with their quarterback situation in shambles. Their offensive line has potential to be a top-10 unit in run-blocking. If healthy, Ivory will have RB1 upside.
