FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets fullback Lex Hilliard was placed on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday, a day after seriously injuring his shoulder at practice. The team didnt announce the nature or severity of the injury, but a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Hilliard has a broken shoulder blade that requires surgery. Hilliard is expected to have surgery to repair the shoulder next week. Hilliard went down in a heap after a running play Tuesday, writhing in pain as trainers rushed over to him. He stayed down for several minutes, kicking his legs as he was being checked on. Hilliard was eventually able to walk off the field with the help of trainers -- appearing to favour his right shoulder -- before being carted to the locker room. Pro Football Talk first reported Wednesday morning that Hilliard would need season-ending surgery. Hilliard played in 12 games for the Jets last season after beginning the year with the Patriots. He missed New Yorks first two preseason games this summer with a rib injury, and his roster spot appeared in jeopardy. Tommy Bohanon, the teams seventh-round pick from Wake Forest, is having a good camp and appears poised to win the job. Hilliard re-signed with the Jets this off-season, agreeing to a one-year deal worth $780,000. He was a sixth-round pick of Miami out of Montana in 2008, and spent his first four seasons with the Dolphins. Hilliard was in training camp with Minnesota last summer, but was among the teams final cuts. He signed with New England a few days later and played in two games for the Patriots.

James Walker-Roberts looks at his preparation and rivals... Even before beating Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals in Paris last year, Djokovic was the favourite. After seeing off the Spaniard in straight sets, even his semi-final opponent Andy Murray conceded this was the Serbs best chance to win the tournament. Murray provided a stern test, taking Djokovic to five sets before he won his 28th match in a row.But then came the Stan Wawrinka whirlwind. In just over three hours, Wawrinka hit almost 60 winners to stun Djokovic and win his second Grand Slam title. Djokovic could barely hold back the tears in his post-match speech, but there would always be next year, wouldnt there? Certainly at the start of 2016, before the European clay season started, he was the overwhelming favourite for the French Open. But his preparations have not exactly gone according to plan. Watch highlights from the Rome Masters final as Murray beat Djokovic While he did win impressively in Madrid, that was after suffering a shock defeat to Jiri Vesely in his first match in Monaco. Then, most recently, came the Rome Masters.After being bageled in a three-set win over Thomaz Bellucci, the Serb beat Nadal in a high-quality contest before battling past Kei Nishikori in the semi-finals. During that match, Djokovic was warned by the umpire for hitting a ball close to a ball boy in frustration, and there were more signs of annoyance in the final.Djokovic complained to the umpire for not stopping play due to rain and also got a warning for bouncing his racket into the crowd during the surprisingly one-sided 6-3 6-3 defeat to Murray.The chair umpire was on fire today. He really wanted to show his authority to me. So congratulations to him, said the world No 1 afterwards. Djokovic was frustrated during his Rome Masters defeat to Murray Was the pressure of the upcoming French Open playing on Djokovics mind? While he did have a tough schedule in Rome - not finishing his semi-final on Satturday until after 11pm - there were signs that he was short on patience, even though he played it down after the final.ddddddddddddI dont feel that Im doubtful or Im shaken up by this loss, he said. Of course, you dont like to lose, but youve got to congratulate the better player that played well today, Andy, and he deserved to win. I move on to Paris knowing that Im going to approach it hopefully healthy and refreshed and then giving it my all, as always. A three-time beaten finalist in Paris (2012, 2014 and 2015), Djokovic will start as the strong favourite again despite his defeats in Monaco and Rome. But he is not without challengers. Murray won the Rome Masters after beating Djokovic in the final Murray in particular looks better placed than ever to compete for the title. Having reached the semi-finals in Monaco and final in Madrid, Murrays victory in Rome not only gave him a timely confidence boost but also saw him reclaim the world No 2 spot, meaning he could not meet Djokovic until the final in Paris.Im going to Roland Garros with a lot of confidence and really good preparation. I feel like Im on the right track. So hopefully I can have a good run there, he said after winning the Rome Masters.Murray has enjoyed success on clay in the past, and pushed Djokovic close in five sets in Paris last year, but says he has a new-found belief on the surface.I had always been told that clay should really be my best surface, but it took me a long time to gain a little bit of confidence, he said. But also I did make huge improvements in my movement on the surface, as well. Nadal has shown signs of improvement recently That has changed my mentality when I go on the court a lot. I dont feel like Im off-balance anymore and I feel like I can chase most balls down. Its an easy surface for me to move on now.One man who has never had any trouble moving on clay is Nadal. After a spell of battling to find his best form, the nine-time French Open champion has shown signs of improvement over the last month, winning in Monaco and then going toe-to-toe with Djokovic in Rome.Given he will be seeded fifth in Paris - and has lost the last 15 sets against Djokovic - he will be hoping to avoid the world No 1 until the final weekend.Whatever the draw, though, the pressure will be on Djokovic again.
