New York Jets linebacker Jordan Jenkins has been sitting out organized team activities due to a shoulder injury.

It's uncertain whether Jenkins will be ready for the start of training camp next month, Jets head coach Todd Bowles said, per the New York Daily News.

"We'll see," said Bowles when asked if he expected Jenkins to be healthy for training camp at the end of July.

Bowles would not reveal the nature of the injury for Jenkins other than to say the third-year linebacker is "nicked up."

A third-round draft pick of the Jets in 2016 out of Georgia, Jenkins started 15 of 16 games last season, recording 46 tackles, three sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries.

The 6-foot-3, 259-pound Jenkins appeared in 14 games, making 11 starts, as a rookie in 2016. He wound up with 39 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.
