New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah was carted to the locker room with a right knee injury early in Sunday's game against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.

Uzomah went down on the Jets' second play from scrimmage on a rainy afternoon in East Rutherford, N.J. He was helped off the field before being carted away from the sideline.

He is questionable to return to the game.

Uzomah, 30, is in his second season with the Jets. He had just eight receptions for 58 yards and one touchdown through his first 11 games of 2023.

Uzomah has caught 192 passes for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns in a nine-year NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals (2015-21) and New York.

One play later, Atlanta cornerback AJ Terrell was hurt while tackling Jets running back Breece Hall. The Falcons said he is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return.

Terrell, 25, is in his fourth NFL season and has started all 12 games for Atlanta this season. He has four interceptions and 233 tackles in 56 career games (all starts) entering Sunday's action.
