NFL tragedy: Robert Saleh New York jets first injury week 2 report revealed” as Tennessee Titans faces worst huddle ahead of terrible crunch…..
In Week 2, the New York Jets may not have D.J. Reed, their starting cornerback, available. Reed was scheduled to practice on Friday, September 13, but ESPN’s Rich Cimini posted on social media that “Reed was re-evaluated before practice and held out, leading to his change in status.”
Head coach Robert Saleh revealed earlier in the week that Reed was battling “knee soreness.” However, Saleh remained optimistic throughout the week that Reed would be ready to go
Reed was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday of this week but did not practice on Friday. He officially received the questionable designation heading into the Tennessee Titans game.
Connor Hughes of SNY said if Reed is out for this game, “This would be a blow to the defense.”
Saleh Has a Questionable Track Record With Injury Reports
You have to take everything Coach Saleh says at the podium with a grain of salt. That is particularly true when he is discussing injuries.
Throughout his three and a half years with the team, Saleh has often displayed optimism about an injury situation only to find out a short time later that the injury was far more serious than he led on.
For example, prior to the team’s Week 6 game against the Philadelphia Eagles the previous season, Saleh stated he thought Sauce Gardner would play. Gardner was ruled out of the game the next day.
The Jets pulled off the incredible upset even though they were missing Gardner and Reed for the game versus the Eagles. Stated differently, this coaching staff is accustomed to using, well, chicken
This time around the Jets are facing a far inferior opponent than the undefeated Eagles from 2023.
Will Levis is making his No. 11 career start in the NFL in the middle of his second season. He is a young passer with plenty of physical gifts. However, he has an affinity for turning the ball over which is something this Jets defense could take full advantage of
The Jets Are Much Better Prepared for an Injury to the Secondary
If Reed were to miss the game, the Jets have Brandin Echols to come off the bench.
Echols is in the middle of year No. 4. During that time he has appeared in 42 games and has made 15 starts. Echols is more experienced than your typical backup cornerback at the NFL level.
The Jets’ off-season has been dominated by Qwan’tez Stiggers, a CFL player picked in the fifth round despite never playing college football and looking like he belongs in the NFL.
Jarrick Bernard-Converse has been another outstanding acquisition by the Jets coaching and scouting staff. During training camp and the preseason, he made a huge impression. Although he was added to the 53-man roster, the gifted former LSU defensive back is far down the depth chart.
Tennessee Titans injury sidelines
The Tennessee Titans were unable to practice without any absences for two days in a row ahead of their game against the New York Jets this coming weekend. Due to a neck issue, guard Peter Skoronski is listed as a limited participant for Thursday’s practice. Security Although their names are on the injury list, Jamal Adams, guard Dillon Radunz, and linebacker Otis Reese IV were not limited or absent on Thursday.
Cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and L’Jarius Sneed, as well as receiver DeAndre Hopkins, are among the players not included in the report. Prior to the season, all of them had been limited or injured.
