The New York Jets moved to help fill the massive void left by the loss of nose tackle Kris Jenkins by signing defensive tackle Howard Green on Wednesday.

A league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Green's deal is for two years.

To make room for Green on the roster the Jets placed Jenkins on injured reserve Wednesday.

Jenkins will miss the rest of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his surgically repaired left knee in the team's opener against Baltimore on Monday night.
