Jets' Elijah Moore won't play vs. Broncos after trade demand

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Disgruntled New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore, who requested a trade Thursday after being sent home following a blow-up with a coach, returned to the team's facility Friday but will be inactive Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

"To ask him to play a football game with where he is from a mental standpoint wouldn't be fair to him, in my opinion," coach Robert Saleh told reporters. "But that's strictly my decision."

Saleh said the Jets won't grant Moore's trade request, saying they hope to work out their differences once the second-year receiver rejoins the team.
