Sam Darnold’s favorite target is ready to make his return.
Slot receiver Jamison Crowder said he should be able to play Thursday night against the Broncos. Crowder missed two games with a hamstring injury after catching seven passes for 115 yards, including a 69-yard touchdown, in the Jets’ Week 1 loss in Buffalo.
"Any time that you can get your best receiver back on the field it gets you fired up a little bit," coach Adam Gase said.
Crowder said he’s been running routes and cutting at the practice facility, and he’s legs feel good. He’s confident that he can play the full game.
