New York Jets backup quarterback Erik Ainge has entered a facility to be treated for substance abuse, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPNNewYork.com on Wednesday.
The team put him on the reserved/non-injured list last week. This wouldn't be the first time Ainge has sought help for substance abuse. He missed several weeks during OTAs in April 2009. That came during a time when coach Rex Ryan said Ainge would be competing with Brett Ratliff and Kellen Clemens for the roster spot vacated by Brett Favre.
