After missing many weeks, two starters are expected to return.
On Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, the New York Jets defense will be without its starting slot cornerback, but its captain might be prepared to play again.
Due to a back issue, Michael Carter II was ruled out by interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich on Saturday afternoon. Carter left the Week 5 match in London after just one snap.
“Obviously, Michael Carter, who is in the rear, did not take part. Ulbrich declared, “He’ll be out for the game.”
As the defensive captain recovers from a toe injury that surfaced against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, veteran linebacker CJ Mosley practiced in a limited capacity for the third consecutive day. Three games in a row have been missed by the battle-tested tackling machine.We’ve just gradually increased the number of reps he performs at practice because he’s had a great week. We’re encouraged because this week he’s feeling better than he has in a long time,” Ulbrich said.
Mosley is one of two Jets’ players officially listed as questionable on Saturday’s injury report. Starting tight end Tyler Conklin, who has been limited due to a hip injury, is also questionable for Monday night’s AFC East tussle at MetLife Stadium.
The good news for the Jets is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished the week as a full participant and does not carry an injury status heading into the October 14 primetime affair. Right tackle Morgan Moses, who has missed back-to-back games, appears poised to return from his knee injury.
