Leon Washington has been placed on injured reserve with a fractured fibula, officially ending his 2009 season. For a short time, it was thought he might avoid IR and return late in the season, but the team apparently thought better of risking a roster spot on a player who might not return. The injury is a nightmare for Washington, who was angling for a new contract. For what it’s worth, Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum has said Washington will be with the organization for a “long, long time.”
