Jets' Xavier Newman: Practice window opens Wednesday
The Jets designated Newman (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Newman suffered a significant injury in Week 7 against the Steelers that required him to be placed on a spine board and carted off the field.
