The shaky depth of the Jets offensive line took a big hit Monday night when backup Rob Turner went down to injury.

Turner will miss 8-10 weeks with a broken leg after he undergoes surgery, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

Turner is one of those glue guys you don’t hear about much, but he’s very valuable to a Jets team already looking thinner on the line. Turner can play multiple spots, including backing up Nick Mangold at center.

Vladimir Ducasse, who doesn’t seem to be developing very quickly, is the primary backup guard and tackle. Mehta wonder if the Jets could reach out to center Shaun O’Hara.
