OAKLAND, Calif. — Outside linebacker Quinton Coples has been a missing man this season for the Jets.
Coples’ production is low, but it’s hard to produce when you are not on the field. Coples has no sacks and just three quarterback hits, and his playing time has dwindled in recent weeks. He has played 44 percent of the defensive snaps, but just 33 snaps in the last two weeks.
Jets coaches said it is because they are featuring packages that don’t include Coples.
