"Jets safety Jim Leonhard will have surgery to repair the torn patellar tendon in his right knee on Wednesday morning, he said in an radio interview Tuesday.

Leonhard spoke about the season-ending injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Chiefs for the first time during his weekly paid appearance on WFAN.

"It's obviously frustrating," Leonhard said. "It's not the way you envision your season ending. It's the risk you take when you play this game. It is frustrating, especially for the second year in a row. I really have no reasons why. "

Leonhard broke his leg in December last year, ending his season prematurely. A year later, he injured his knee after intercepting a Tyler Palko pass in the second quarter of the Jets' 37-10 win over the Chiefs."
