Man, the Jets are already battling the injury bug hard before their Sunday showdown in Tennessee. Linebacker Joseph Ossai is officially ruled out for that game, nursing a foot injury that head coach Aaron Glenn says makes him week-to-week moving forward. That’s a rough start to the season for a guy expected to contribute.
Jets Depth Tested Early with Multiple Key Losses
It doesn’t stop with Ossai, either. Rookie corner D’Angelo Ponds, a second-round pick, is also looking like he’ll miss the game. Coach Glenn has him listed as doubtful against the Titans thanks to a calf injury. Wide receiver Tim Patrick (groin) also got ruled out, just like Ossai. And to top it off, kick returner Kene Nwangwu is joining Ponds in the doubtful crew with a back injury. Talk about a tough break for a team looking to kick things off right. Some of these new Jets will definitely have to wait on their debut.
So yeah, a bunch of players are sidelined or questionable, and the Jets are gonna be without some serious talent when they hit the field Sunday. Let’s see how they adjust against the Titans with these early season hits. It’s gonna be a true test of their depth right out of the gate.
