Jets' Rontez Miles: Starts camp on PUP list
Rontez Miles (knee) has landed on the PUP list to begin training camp, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.Given his 3-to-4 month recovery timetable that surfaced in early June, it's not a huge surprise that the team made the move given the lengthy recovery time remaining ahead of him. Miles is projected to serve as a backup safety and special teams contributor when healthy, though his absence could leave an opening for J.J. Wilcox to slot in higher on the depth chart.

Jets' Rontez Miles: Out 3-to-4 months after meniscus surgery
Rontez Miles underwent surgery Wednesday to address a torn meniscus in his knee and is expected to be sidelined for 3-to-4 months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.While the circumstances behind Miles' injury are unclear, it's likely that he hurt the knee at some point during the New York Jets' offseason program. The projected timetable means that Miles won't be ready for the start of training camp and will almost certainly be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list in the near future. If Miles' recovery trends to the longer end of that time frame, he'll be a candidate for injured reserve, though he could be designated as one of the Jets' two players eligible to return from IR. Miles was projected to serve as the top backup at either safety spot and a core special-teams contributor, but his injury now opens the door for the newly signed J.J. Wilcox to take on greater importance in the New York secondary.
