New York Jets linebacker CJ Mosley remains sidelined due to a toe injury sustained in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Head Coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Mosley will not practice on Wednesday, adopting a cautious approach to avoid exacerbating the issue.
Initially, the team had been optimistic about Mosley’s return for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. However, his progress has been slower than expected, and Saleh now prioritizes ensuring the injury doesn’t become a lingering problem.
Mosley’s absence significantly impacts the Jets’ defense, as he serves as a defensive captain and key playmaker. In his place, Jamien Sherwood has taken on defensive play-calling duties and worn the green dot. The team is also without defensive end Haason Reddick, who continues his holdout and is unlikely to play this season.
Despite these setbacks, the Jets have managed a 2-1 record, showing improvement in their last outing. Saleh’s team will need to adapt and find ways to overcome the loss of key defensive players to maintain momentum and contend in the competitive AFC East.
