In a slew of horrible decisions, picking this guy with the 9th overall pick has to be Idzik's worst move

Cornerback Dee Milliner is healthy and practicing again with the New York Jets. The former Alabama All-American is eligible to come back to the NFL team from his designation as "reserve injured/designated to return." But if the Jets don't put him on their active roster by 3 p.m. CST Tuesday, Milliner will miss the remainder of the 2015 season.
Milliner tore a tendon in his right wrist at practice at New York's training camp on Aug. 6 and had surgery the next day. When the Jets reduced their roster to the regular-season limit of 53 players a month later, they placed Milliner on what's commonly called short-term IR or IR boomerang. Each NFL team can put one player per season on the injured reserve list without losing him for the season.
Milliner returned to practice on Oct. 21, starting the clock ticking on a decision by the Jets. If they don't activate him by the transaction deadline on Tuesday, he reverts to the season-ending injured reserve list.
Milliner was eligible to be activated for the Jets' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but he wasn't. New York coach Todd Bowles said Milliner's status for this season was "just a roster decision at this point."
"At the moment, he's just practicing," Bowles said last week. "If we can make room for him, we'll bring him up. If we can't, we won't."
A prep star at Stanhope Elmore, Milliner has played in 16 of the Jets' 40 games since New York selected him with the ninth choice in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Milliner missed practice time after being drafted because of shoulder surgery, and he sat out some of his first training camp with an Achilles injury. Milliner missed three games with a hamstring injury as a rookie.
Milliner missed time at the Jets' OTAs in 2014 with another hamstring issue, then sprained his ankle in training camp. That injury kept Milliner out of New York's first game of the 2014 season. Milliner's comeback from the ankle injury was compounded by a quadriceps problem, and he missed two other games before suffering a season-ending injury – a torn Achilles tendon – in the Jets' sixth game of 2014.
Then came the wrist injury in this season's training camp.
