Jets Open Season Short on Key Players | New York Jets News

The Jets face a brutal lineup shakeup for their season opener against the Titans, missing five key players including RB Kene Nwangwu, edge rusher Joseph Ossai, and CB D’Angelo Ponds—all sidelined with injuries. Kicker Blake Grupe is also inactive, forcing Jason Sanders to take over kicking duties after being brought up from the practice squad. Add to that the surprise placement of WR Tim Patrick on injured reserve, and you’ve got a depleted receiving corps and a secondary without a major playmaker. With crucial roles vacant, the Jets’ depth will be put to the test as they try to make a statement on opening day.
