The New York Jets will be without starting right tackle Morgan Moses for several weeks after he suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise during the team’s Week 3 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football. Moses exited in the second half after his leg was injured during an Aaron Rodgers sack. While the injury looked severe, signs indicate Moses will miss only a few games.
In another blow, standout edge rusher Jermaine Johnson is out for the season after tearing his Achilles in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. Johnson, a key player in the Jets’ defense, had surgery on Friday and hinted at a possible postseason return, though that remains uncertain.
Despite Johnson’s absence, the Jets’ defense rallied in Week 3, recording a season-high seven sacks. Will McDonald and the rest of the defense will need to continue stepping up in his absence as the team pushes forward.
