The New York Jets are staring down a severely shorthanded Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears this Sunday, with head coach Aaron Glenn dropping a bombshell injury report on Friday. The team will be without five key players as they head into the weekend, putting their depth to the ultimate test.
Five Names That Just Gutted The Roster
This injury report is a tough pill to swallow for Jets fans. Running back Breece Hall is officially out with a quad injury, taking a huge chunk of their ground game with him. It doesn’t stop there, though. Tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) and receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) are also ruled out, severely limiting New York’s offensive targets. On the line, left guard Dylan Parham is sidelined with a knee injury, and linebacker Kiko Mauioga will also miss the game. That’s a significant number of players across multiple units, and it’s going to force the coaching staff to get creative.
Question Marks and a Glimmer of Hope
While the ruled-out list is long, there’s still some uncertainty and a bit of good news. Edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare could end up being questionable for Sunday. Coach Glenn noted Enagbare will be a limited participant in Friday’s practice, after being limited on Wednesday and not practicing at all on Thursday. That situation is definitely one to watch. On the brighter side, defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick appears to be on track for a return from a groin injury. He was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice, which is a big boost for the secondary. The full injury report, with the rest of the club’s game statuses, is expected later on Friday.
With so many key players out and others still uncertain, Sunday’s game against the Bears is going to be a true test of grit for the Jets. They’ll need everyone stepping up if they want to get a W in Week 4.
