Gilchrist tore the patellar tendon in his right knee on the opening kickoff of the second half of the Jets’ win at San Francisco on Sunday. He was tied for the team lead with two interceptions.

Giacomini played in five games this season after starting the season on the physically unable to perform list with a back injury. He was dealing with back, shoulder and calf ailments, and was inactive at San Francisco.

Martin and Watts have spent the entire season on the Jets’ practice squad after participating in training camp with New York.
