The following Jets were held out of the game, all apparently due to injuries: Jermaine Kearse, Eli McGuire, Jeremy Clark, Xavier Coleman, Parry Nickerson, Rontez Miles, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Lucky Whitehead, Kendall Reyes, Steve McLendon. The only surprise was Kearse. All the other players had been dealing with injuries. Kelvin Beachum (foot) was suited up, but didn't play. He has been practicing. Brent Qvale started for him at left tackle. Expect Beachum to be ready for Week 1, though. Qvale isn't starter material. He struggled Friday.
Quite the moment before the game, as Jets legend Joe Namath was on-hand and chatted with the Jets' three quarterbacks, Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater, and Sam Darnold.
