The Jets game inactives have been announced, and I’m sure some of you will be surprised by the names on the list. WR David ClowneyLB Jamal WestermanQBs Kevin O’Connell & Erik AingeCBs Lito Sheppard & Donald Strickland (injury scratches)OL Matt SlausonDL Ropati Piotitua Clowney hasn’t contributed much so far this season in the offense, and can struggle on specials due to his size. Seeing him inactive on a rainy day gameplan isn’t that much of a surprise. Jamal Westerman has had his moments, but the Jets needed to have as many DBs active today with Strickland and Sheppard out of commission. As far as the Titans inactives, TE Bo Scaife is the biggest name. He is one of the team’s leading receivers, so his absence will be a big loss for the Titans today.
