Curtis Martin will miss at least the first six weeks of the season. It could be the end of the 33-year-old running back's career.

The NFL's No. 4 career rusher, who underwent knee surgery last December, was placed by the New York Jets on the regular-season physically unable to perform list on Tuesday. That means he will miss the first six weeks and the Jets will have 21 days to decide whether to activate him.

Another star running back, Priest Holmes of the Chiefs, was put on the same list on Monday.

The Jets also announced that Chad Pennington is their starting quarterback. Pennington, who has undergone shoulder surgery for two straight years, had been the starting QB throughout the preseason. But first-year coach Eric Mangini had not designated a starter from among Pennington, Patrick Ramsey, Brooks Bollinger and rookie Kellen Clemens.

"It's become really clear to me he's distinguished himself in the way I was looking for," Mangini said of Pennington. "He's made great progress in the preseason, especially over the last couple weeks.

"That consistency I've been looking for has been there: his presence, his ability to move the team, his leadership, all those things I've been looking for. He's done an outstanding job. It's clear to me he should be the starter, and he will be."

Makes me wonder how much punishment Chads shoulder can take?

His arm isnt very strong to begin with and now the two surgeries. Not even to mention the offensive line is still molding together.

It should be an interesting season for him. But with the Jets at 4-12 last year I don't think they can be much worse?

It cant get much worse, but no Curtis Martin, no Fabini and Mawae, no John Abraham and Ty Law? McCareins is no longer a starter either. The defense is above average but the offense is AWFUL.

When did Curtis leave?
Sounds like their offense(I hate to say it)might be worse than the Bears? That's bad!!

No he didnt leave, but he is out for at least the first 6 weeks and I dont think he will be the same.

Not quite sure, but he was placed on the PUP list for whatever reason.
