The New England Patriots and New York Jets are set to clash on Thursday Night Football, with both teams currently tied at 1-1 in the AFC East. Despite being viewed as underdogs, the Patriots have shown resilience, pulling off a major upset in Week 1 and nearly securing another win in Week 2.
However, the Jets may face a significant challenge as two defensive stars, linebacker C.J. Mosley and cornerback D.J. Reed, are considered “50/50” to play due to injuries. Coach Robert Saleh hinted that game-day workouts may determine their availability. Reed missed Week 2 with a knee injury, while Mosley was injured in the first half of the Jets’ last game.
Mosley and Reed are crucial components of the Jets’ defense, and their potential absence would significantly impact the team’s chances. The Patriots would welcome this break, as they face the daunting task of containing quarterback Aaron Rodgers and navigating the talented New York defense.
As the matchup approaches, the Patriots aim to pull off another upset and make a statement in the AFC East division race. The status of Mosley and Reed will be closely monitored, with updates expected soon. If the Jets are without these key players, New England’s chances of securing a victory will increase significantly.
