The New York Jets have made a strategic move by activating third-string quarterback Adrian Martinez for their upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Martinez will be serving as an emergency quarterback behind the seasoned starter Aaron Rodgers and backup Tyrod Taylor.
Rodgers, who is 40 years old, had been nursing a sore left knee following the team's recent loss to the Denver Broncos. However, he expressed optimism about his condition, stating that he felt 'pretty good' during Friday's practice session.
On the other hand, Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley will be sidelined for the third consecutive game due to an injured toe. Despite his efforts to participate in limited practice sessions this week, Mosley was ultimately listed as doubtful for the upcoming game. The veteran player had initially sustained a bruised right big toe during the first half of New York's victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.
In addition to Mosley, Jets receiver Malachi Corley will also be inactive for the game. The team's list of inactive players further includes T Morgan Moses, OL Max Mitchell, RB Israel Abanikanda, and CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have made roster adjustments by elevating running back Myles Gaskin and safety Bobby McCain to the active roster. Among their inactives are WR Trishton Jackson, QB Brett Rypien, CR Fabian Moreau, CB Dwight McGlothern, DL Jalen Redmond, and T Walter Rouse.
Both teams are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting matchup, with each side making strategic decisions to optimize their performance on the field. Fans can expect an intense game as the New York Jets face off against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
