FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—Sunday’s showdown between the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts could very well come down to a battle of backups brought upon by an influx of injuries.
Isaiah Crowell, Trumaine Johnson, and Buster Skrine have been held out of practice this week for the Jets, while Leonard Williams didn’t partake in Thursday’s preparation.
The Colts, meanwhile, have had 18 players listed on their injury report this week, and two of their biggest playmakers, T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle, are already considered out.
In other words, the Jets are getting cornerback Rashard Robinson at just the right time.
