New York Jets cornerback Dee Milliner will likely miss three to four weeks with a high left ankle sprain and his Week 1 status is questionable, reports ESPN's Ed Werder via Rotoworld. 

Milliner had to be helped off the field during Sunday's Jets practice after trying to defend a deep pass. He reportedly underwent an MRI afterwards. 

Milliner's injury came the same day that Jets rookie cornerback Dexter McDougletore his ACL, leaving him likely lost for the season.
