Report: Jets QB Ainge enters drug rehab

According to a report in the New York Daily News, Jets backup quarterback Erik Ainge, nephew of Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, recently entered a drug treatment/rehab facility for “recreational issues,” according to sources. A team source told the paper the Jets are “very disappointed” in what appears to be a relapse for Ainge and don’t have a timetable for his return.

Ainge, a University of Tennessee product who has not taken a snap in his first three seasons, was suspended in 2008 for violating the league’s drug policy. He would face an eight-game suspension this time for his second offense.

On Monday night, Ainge tweeted: “I am taking some personal time to address a non-football related illness. Thank you for all the love, thoughts, and concerns. I love you all.”
