New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is the latest Jets player to blast the organization for the way they are dealing with an injury.
Enunwa went down with a season-ending neck injury in Week 1 and was placed on IR and according to a series of tweets he was fined by the team $27,900, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement for missing two treatments.
“Given everything that's going on around the team I thought this could've been handled so many different ways,” he tweeted. “I've spent my time with the team trying to build myself up to be dependable and hardworking so this s— hurts.”
Enunwa did acknowledge he missed the two treatments and should have alerted the team he was going to miss them, but he still thinks the situation could have been handled in a different way.
Enunwa said it's hard to go in the building every day and be reminded that he can't be out on the field, especially after doctors told him he might not be able to play again.
“The biggest reason is hurts is that I'm on IR for the second time in my career and the doctor told me I have a 50/50 chance of coming back to play,” Enunwa said. “I shouldn't even have to be in that building being reminded every day of what I can't do.
“This s— feels like punishment already and then they FINE me the max. And then want me to continue to do my rehab there and IF I get healthy they want me to play for them after.
This is the second time that Enunwa has dealt with a neck injury, and it's unclear if he will be able to continue to play football.
