Patton (foot) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ethan Greenberg of NewYorkJets.com reports.

Analysis:

Patton underwent foot surgery last December and wasn't expected to be back in time for training camp, so the team wasted little time in moving him to IR to open up a roster spot. The Jets signed receiver Devin Street in a corresponding move to add depth at the position. Patton hauled in 37 of 63 targets for 408 yards last season with the 49ers.
