The Jets will officially be without two of their top four cornerbacks for their Week 5 trip to Denver.
D.J. Reed was not cleared from the concussion protocol Friday, as was expected, and will not play Sunday against the Broncos. The Jets had already ruled out Brandin Echols with a hamstring injury earlier in the week.

Head coach Robert Saleh even said Friday there was no hesitation about the possibility of moving nickel corner Michael Carter II outside.

It will be very interesting to see how the Jets put this puzzle together going up against the Broncos wide receivers. They also have extra depth now on the practice squad that may get called up as well this week. Craig James, Kalon Barnes and Tae Hayes were all added to the practice squad this week.
