- WRs Sterling Shepard and Tyler Johnson, both on the practice squad, are ready if needed. One will be added to Sunday’s roster, according to Glenn. #Jets
- The Jets placed LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball, DL David Onyemata and WR Arian Smith on injured reserve. The WR depth is not ideal — down to Garrett Wilson, AD Mitchell, Isaiah Williams and now Malik McClain. Might need to call up Sterling Shepard or Tyler Johnson. Not like Arian Smith was playing much on O so that was true anyway. Onyemata being out is a loss for the run game but T’Vondre Sweat has been impactful against the run — albeit while only playing 44% of the snaps overall.
- Hearing that WR Arian Smith (knee) will miss time. It would leave only three healthy WRs on the 53. #Jets have Sterling Shepard and Tyler Johnson on the PS. Smith had the missed tackle on the 63-yard punt return.
- From @gmfb on #Lions RB Isaiah Pacheco’s surgery, the #Jets adding WR Sterling Shepard and #Texans LB Henry To’oto’o expected to miss more than just the minimum four weeks on IR.
