Veteran wide receiver Laveranues Coles, who has battled through a high ankle sprain that has affected his productivity for the past month, was placed on injured reserve by the New York Jets on Saturday afternoon, ending his season with two games remaining. To fill Coles' roster spot, the Jets elevated punter Jeremy Kapinos from the practice squad. One of the toughest players in the league and blessed with a high threshold for pain, Coles, nonetheless, struggled after spraining his left ankle in a Nov. 18 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a noticeable limp at times, one that forced him to miss practice time, Coles stayed in the lineup. He aggravated the injury last week when he fell off the training table on Saturday night at the team hotel then attempted to play against the New England Patriots. Coles lasted only one offensive snap before he was forced to the sideline.
