The New York Jets host the Atlanta Falcons in their second preseason game Monday ahead of the next round of cuts to the roster. The Jets need to reduce the numbers of players in training camp from 85 to 80 by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. That’s a small number and should be easy to […]

New York Jets’ second-year running back Michael Carter isn’t worried about competition within the team’s backfield. The Jets drafted Michael Carter in the fourth round of the 2021 season. The former UNC back eventually took over the running back room, while playing a large role within the offense. Carter finished his rookie season with 639 […]

Elijah Moore had himself a day when the New York Jets scrimmaged the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, drawing raves from quarterback Joe Flacco and coach Robert Saleh. The second-year wide receiver made one juke after a reception that was so off the charts that it spun the Falcons defender completely around: This move from @e_moore03 […]

New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur had a blunt assessment of how Zach Wilson’s development will be stunted with the quarterback set to miss a chunk of training camp and possibly the start of the regular season after knee surgery Tuesday. “If you want to be good at football, you have to play football,” […]

Zach Wilson was back at the New York Jets’ training complex two days after surgery on his right knee, and coach Robert Saleh said the quarterback will start Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens if he’s “ready to go.” Right now, that appears to be a long shot, considering that the season opener is three […]

With Zach Wilson potentially out at least until the early goings of the 2022 NFL regular season, the New York Jets will have to turn more to their ground attack. The Jets’ running back room has an intriguing situation right now, and for good reasons. Apart from having Michael Carter back, they also have a […]

EA Madden 23 is set to drop this weekend, and before the official release date has even arrived, players are already up in arms over the appearance of their in-game characters. Perhaps the most bonkers-looking character in the entire video game is New York Jets’ All-Pro wide receiver/kick returner Braxton Berrios. The Jets’ wideout took […]

The ball is being thrown a little differently in the New York Jets facility right now according to rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

The New England Patriots dominated the AFC East for 18 seasons but Tom Brady’s departure from the Patriots in 2020 created a power vacuum. For the last two seasons, the Buffalo Bills have filled that vacuum. The Bills won the division title in 2020 and 2021 with records of 13-3 and 11-6, respectively. In 2020, […]

With Jets quarterback Zach Wilson suffering a knee injury in New York’s preseason opener, that opens the door for backup passer Joe Flacco to potentially step into the starting lineup until the second-year starter is back under center. Wilson is reportedly expected to be out between two-to-four weeks, which could sideline him for the Jets’ […]

Only three weeks ago, George Fant was named the starting left tackle for the New York Jets.

Zach Wilson will have a procedure on his injured right knee Tuesday, but New York Jets coach Robert Saleh revealed he’s cautiously optimistic the quarterback won’t be sidelined for an extended period of time. “They’ll know more once they get in there,” Saleh said Sunday. “We’re optimistic but he’s not out of the woods until […]

The New York Jets 2022 preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles will be remembered less for the 24-21 victory and more for the knee injury sustained by quarterback Zach Wilson.

The New York Jets already know there will be one big change in their starting lineup this season.

The massive right tackle […]

Robert Saleh said he wants to see the New York Jets put their best foot forward when they travel to Philadelphia to open the preseason against the Eagles on Friday.
