After lacking final weekend’s loss to the Dolphins, Jets operating again Breece Corridor might return in Week 15.
Corridor (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s recreation towards the Jaguars.
“He looks good right now,” Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich stated on Friday afternoon. “So, it looks promising.”
Corridor injured his knee in the course of the Jets’ Week 11 loss to the Colts. Nonetheless, Corridor performed within the workforce’s subsequent recreation towards the Seahawks following the Jets’ bye week.
Whereas Corridor might play on Sunday, the Jets will probably be with out returner and operating again Kene Nwangwu. After breaking his hand, Nwangwu will probably be positioned on injured reserve and miss the remainder of the season.
Nwangwu was named the AFC Particular Groups Participant of the Week after the Jets’ Week 13 loss to the Seahawks. In that recreation, after being elevated from the observe squad, Nwangwu registered a 99-yard kick-return landing and compelled a fumble on a separate kickoff return.
“He brought such value as a returner,” Ulbrich stated about Nwangwu. “To put him out there with a broken hand, that would be counterproductive for him and us as a team.
“Unfortunately, it cuts the season short and what a bright light he was and what an amazing future I think he has in this league.”
The Jets’ secondary may very well be restricted towards the Jaguars. Brandin Echols (shoulder) is uncertain, and D.J. Reed (groin) is questionable. Ulbrich is “hopeful” Reed can play towards Jacksonville.
“It’s something that’s lingered here and there,” Ulbrich stated about Reed’s groin harm. “It got aggravated and it went away and it got aggravated again.
“We are hopeful, but we will see how it goes. He has been a guy that, it has been sore on a Friday and been able to play on a Sunday multiple times this year. We will see how that goes.”
Sauce Gardner, who missed final week’s recreation attributable to a hamstring harm, will play towards the Jaguars. If Echols and Reed don’t play, rookie Qwan’tez Stiggers will doubtless obtain extra taking part in time reverse Gardner.
“I’m excited for him,” Ulbrich stated about Stiggers. “If he gets an opportunity to play, I’m excited about what he can do. He has demonstrated great growth this season and he has elite ball skills.
“If we gotta roll with Qwan’tez Stiggers, we are excited about that opportunity for him and for us.”
