Left guard Kelechi Osemele did not practice Saturday and was fined an undisclosed amount of money by the Jets for conduct detrimental to the team, according to a league source. The Jets and Osemele are at odds over the veteran's shoulder injury.
Osemele said on Friday he has a torn labrum that requires season-ending surgery. He said the Jets' doctor and another physician he went to for a second opinion said he needed a procedure. He said the team communicated with him and approved the surgery.
But a source familiar with the situation maintains both doctors concur that Osemele's shoulder issue is a pre-existing condition and surgery isn't necessary at this time.
