Rex Ryan said on Wednesday that Stephen Hill won't play Sunday against the Chargers.
Turns out, he won't play again this season.
The team placed the rookie receiver -- who suffered an LCL sprain in his right knee in Week 14 -- on injured reserve. In a corresponding move, the Jets signed CB Donnie Fletcher off the practice squad to replace Hill on active roster.
