FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Down one of their best playmakers for the season, the New York Jets are looking to their youngsters to help fill the void.Wide receiver Eric Decker will have season-ending surgery after being placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a partially torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.Its tough news, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said.Decker was inactive the past two weeks after initially being injured at Buffalo in Week 2 and the shoulder worsening at Kansas City the following week.Last week, coach Todd Bowles said it was still too early to tell whether Decker would be placed on IR, which would mean he would have to sit out at least eight weeks.Bowles said Wednesday that Decker would be having surgery soon, and an eight-month recovery period is usually involved. That would put the receiver on pace to possibly be back by minicamp next June.Decker, who was initially ruled as week-to-week with the injury, said last Thursday that his mindset was that, I want to get back on the field, yes, but was uncertain as to whether that would be possible this season.He wasnt recovering the way we hoped he would, Bowles said. He wasnt getting any better. It was getting worse. At some point, he had to try to get surgery.Its a huge blow to the Jets, who have not been the dynamic offense they were last season with Fitzpatrick, Decker and fellow receiver Brandon Marshall leading the way.It definitely hurts, Marshall said. Hes one of the great receivers in the league.Decker had nine catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He had 80 receptions for 1,027 yards and 12 scores -- including a team-record 10 scoring grabs inside the opponents 20-yard line -- last season as he and Marshall combined for 26 TDs.Decker signed as a free agent with the Jets in 2014 after four seasons in Denver and has been one of the NFLs most-productive receivers in that time with 163 receptions for 2,183 yards.You definitely cant replace him with one guy, Fitzpatrick said. I think especially with him and the red area, on third downs and the stuff that he was tops in the league at, thats the stuff that you really miss, but its going to be a collective effort. Its going to be a couple of different guys having to step in.Deckers absence has had a noticeable effect on the Jets, who have scored a total of seven points in the second half in the past three games since a 37-31 win at Buffalo in Week 2 in which New York put up 17 points after halftime.Quincy Enunwa has served as the de facto No. 2 receiver since Decker was hurt, and leads the Jets with 27 catches. But other than Enunwa and Marshall, who has 24 receptions, New York has mostly inexperienced receivers left on its roster.Seventh-round pick Charone Peake (four catches, 36 yards) and undrafted free agents Robby Anderson (five for 56) and Jalin Marshall (five for 64) are among the Jets remaining receivers -- but Jalin Marshall has missed the past two games with a torn labrum.Hes one of the great receivers in the league, Brandon Marshall said of Decker. But were more than confident that the younger guys we have, theyll make plays. Guys like Robby, theyre studs and hungry, waiting for their opportunities. ... Theyll step in and just be OK.New York also claimed former Tampa Bay receiver Jeremy Butler off waivers on Tuesday, and cut Jeremy Ross. Butler had 31 catches for 363 yards last season for Baltimore, which signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee-Martin in 2014, but cut him this summer after training camp.Dont panic, Brandon Marshall said. Were OK. Its the NFL. Its not about one guy.The Jets signed cornerback Nick Marshall off Jacksonvilles practice squad Wednesday to fill Deckers roster spot. The former Auburn quarterback was used on special teams and in the secondary by the Jaguars.New York has lost three straight games to fall to 1-4 on the season, with a road game at Arizona on Monday night up next.A win would be huge, Fitzpatrick said. Winning kind of cures all, and when you think things arent going well and all that, then all of a sudden one win can kind of ignite a season.

MIAMI -- Edinson Volquez admits he was tired toward the second half of last season. That attributed to his bloated 5.37 ERA, he said.The 33-year-old right-hander, fresh off completing his $22 million, two-year contract with the Miami Marlins, assured everyone Friday that he is now rested and ready to go.I pitched a lot of innings the year before, Volquez said in Spanish, referring to the 200 1/3 innings he threw for the World Series champion Kansas City Royals in 2015, when he went 13-9 with a 3.55 ERA. By June and July (of 2016), I was tired.Volquez, who has made more than 30 starts in each of the past four years, was 10-11 last season.Volquez gets $9 million next season and $13 million in 2018. He joins a rotation shaken by the loss of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident a week before the end of the regular season in September.Its hard to believe, Volquez said. I was with the Royals when it happened. A lot of us were crying.My dad passed away in 2015, so I know what his family is going through, he said.Volquez said he doesnt view himself as a replacement for Fernandez in the Marlins rotation.Joses death was a sad moment for MLB, he said. He was a great pitcher, and he was only 24. But I dont want to be Jose.dddddddddddd I want to be me.An All-Star in 2008 with Cincinnati, Volquez is 89-79 in 12 major league seasons. He became a free agent this month when he declined his mutual option with the Royals.Volquez said he has lived in Miami for three years, and he told his agent that becoming a member of the Marlins was his top priority in free agency.Ive liked the Marlins team for a long time, Volquez said. I know a lot of the guys here like Martin Prado, Dee Gordon and Marcell Ozuna. Fitting in to this clubhouse wont be a problem.Marlins general manager Michael Hill said he was excited to get Volquez.Hes a World Series champion and an All-Star, Hill said. He will fit in perfectly with our inventory. But we are not done yet. We want to add to our pitching depth.Volquez, a native of the Dominican Republic, should also be a good fit in the Miami community with its large Hispanic population.Marlins Park was another fit, Volquez said.I love this park, Volquez said with a huge smile. Its a big ballpark, and thats important for me, especially as I get older. ' ' '
