FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets are expected to be without another defensive starter on Sunday.
Cornerback Darryl Roberts suffered a calf injury in practice Wednesday. Adam Gase made it sound as if the non-contact injury would keep Roberts down for some time.
“I just know those are tough ones to come back from that fast,” Gase said.
The Jets already are short-handed at that spot going into Sunday’s game against the Giants.
Starting corner Trumaine Johnson was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday with injuries in both ankles. Now with Roberts likely out, the Jets are left with Brian Poole and Arthur Maulet – both are primarily nickel corners – and Nate Hairston and Maurice Canady, who the Jets claimed off of waivers from the Ravens on Wednesday.
