The Jets will place McGovern (kneecap) on injured reserve Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The transaction comes after McGovern sustained a dislocated kneecap during Sunday's game at the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He'll have to miss the Jets' next four games, and in the meantime, Xavier Newman projects to take his place as the starting center, at least as long as Joe Tippmann (quadriceps) is also unavailable.

It was quiet a day for RB/WR/TE signings, but Austin Ekeler made some noise with a trade request while the Raiders found their short-term answer at QB.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
McGovern is penciled in as the Jets' starting center. He played well in that role in 2021 before hurting his MCL in Week 16 against the Jaguars. McGovern has since recovered from that knee injury.
McGovern underwhelmed in the first year of a three-year, $27 million contract last season, but he wasn't the only man to blame for New York's struggles on the interior offensive line. The veteran center was also limited by hamstring and knee injuries in 2020. With a clean bill of health and stronger guards flanking him, McGovern's poised for a bounce-back campaign as the Jets' starting center.
