The Jets and their defense took another big hit on Saturday.
Middle linebacker C.J. Mosley opted out of the 2020 season due to family health concerns, a league source said. Mosley, 28, is the latest NFL player to sit out this season due to concerns from the coronavirus pandemic, and one of the biggest names. The growing list includes Nate Solder, Dont’a Hightower, Patrick Chung and Damien Williams
This is a huge loss for the Jets, who one week ago exactly, traded disgruntled All-Pro safety Jamal Adams to Seattle for two-first-round picks, a third-rounder and veteran safety Bradley McDougald.
