The Jets placed Nwangwu (hand) on injured reserve Saturday, Ethan Greenberg and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.

Nwangwu is dealing with a hand injury, and with New York having just four games remaining on the regular-season slate and already eliminated from playoff contention, his campaign has come to an end. The fourth-year tailback will finish his first season with the Jets with no offensive touches over two games, but he made an impact as a returner, taking a kickoff 99 yards to paydirt in the Week 13 loss to Seattle. Xavier Gipson will likely take over as the Jets' lead kick returner with Nwangwu now sidelined.
