Jets Injury Report (Tues)

The first Jets injury report was released ahead of Week Two against the Buffalo Bills. A handful of key players are managing issues, including Kene Nwangwu (hamstring), Mason Taylor (ankle), and Jay Tufele (illness). Buffalo also has several notable names on their report, highlighted by James Cook (hamstring), Greg Rousseau (knee), and Tre’Davious White (groin).

Aaron Glenn

On the injury front, we have three players of note:

• Kene Nwangwu has a hamstring injury, still evaluating that.

• Mason Taylor is dealing with an ankle issue. We’re managing that today, so there’s a chance he won’t be out there.

• Jay Tufele has a personal issue, and we’re going to let him handle that. He won’t be out there today.

That’s why I said that statement earlier. Man, we’re trying to get the best players on this team that can play a role, and at this point, I just felt like we needed to have a change at that spot.

It’s not just that as far as accountability. It’s accountability in everything that we do. So, I don’t want to just pin it on, “He fumbled the ball, okay, he’s getting,” no, that’s not it. This was a number of things that led up to this.

And again, I’m going to go back to, Xavier’s going to be a player that’s going to play in this League. I know he’s going to correct his, because of who he is as a person. I just felt like it was time to make a change, and between me and Moug (Darren Mougey), we had conversations about it, and we made the change.
