FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The Jets will officially be without safety Rontez Miles and tight end Jordan Leggett for Sunday’s game against the Bills, coach Todd Bowles said Friday.
Bowles did not have a return timetable for Miles, who broke his orbital bone in two places (Miles said Wednesday he could soon be ready to play). Bowles said he was unsure if Leggett, nursing an injured knee, would be available for Week 2. He said it’s possible the Jets would activate all three of their tight ends Sunday — Neal Sterling, Will Tye and Eric Tomlinson.
Tye and Sterling are new additions to the team, but Bowles said he was confident that they’d learn as much as they need to.
