The New York Jets' thin wide receiving corps sustained a hit on Monday with Quincy Enunwa being placed on injured reserve.

Enunwa injured his neck while falling face-first to the turf during the team's 7-on-7 drills session on Saturday.

The loss of the 25-year-old Enunwa is a major blow to a team that features an inexperienced depth chart. Robby Anderson, Charone Peake, rookie ArDarius Stewart and Marquess Wilson remain the top options for the club after the Jets cut Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. Marshall signed with the New York Giants in March and Eric Decker joined the Tennessee Titans three months later.

Enunwa recorded career highs in receptions (58), yards (857) and touchdowns (four) last season. The fourth-year pro's 80 career receptions rank first among the team's current wideouts, followed by Wilson (56) and Anderson (42).
