The Jets look to be getting one key piece of the secondary back this week but likely will be without two others.
Safety Tony Adams was a full participant in practice Thursday, his first full practice since injuring his hamstring in Week 2. He’ll be back this week, but the Jets will likely now be without two of their cornerbacks against the Denver Broncos.
Buy Jets TicketsBrandin Echols was already ruled out this week with a hamstring injury. The big question right now is on D.J. Reed. He missed practice again as he remains in the concussion protocol. We’ll know more Friday morning, but the likelihood is that he won’t be cleared in time to play. If Reed can’t go, it could be Bryce Hall getting the nod opposite Sauce Gardner but the Jets do have a number of options they can go with.
Linebacker Samuel Eguavoen has also missed practice this week with an ankle injury. Safety Jarrick Bernard-Converse (foot) and offensive tackle Carter Warren (shoulder) were both listed as limited. The Jets opened the 21-day practice window on both this week. Neither are officially on the 53-man roster yet.
Along with Adams, offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer (concussion) were both full participants Thursday. Schweitzer has missed the last two games.
CB D.J. Reed (concussion) misses a second straight day of practice. We’ll find out more tomorrow morning from Robert Saleh and later when the Jets must list Reed’s game status on the final injury report. pic.twitter.com/QXXYVSz4kz
