The New York Jets are gearing up for their upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots, but they will be missing some key players on the field.
Edge rusher Haason Reddick will be suiting up for the Jets this weekend, which is good news for their defense. However, they will be without right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, who has been ruled out due to an ankle injury he sustained in their last game against the Steelers. Vera-Tucker was unable to practice all week, putting his availability for the game in serious doubt.
Wide receiver Allen Lazard also missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful with a chest injury. Safety Tony Adams is in a similar situation, as he is also listed as doubtful with a hamstring issue.
Unfortunately for the Jets, safety Ashtyn Davis and defensive tackle Leki Fotu will not be able to play due to a concussion and knee injury, respectively. Right tackle Morgan Moses and tight end Kenny Yeboah are the team’s only questionable players heading into the game.
On the bright side, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been making progress with his knee and hamstring injuries. He was able to participate in full practice on Friday and has no injury designation for the game, which is a positive development for the Jets.
Overall, the Jets will have to make do without some key players against the Patriots, but they are hopeful that they can still put up a strong performance on game day.
