Apparently, there’s a limit to Robert Saleh’s brotherly love for Matt LaFleur. So, the New York Jets coach will not be speaking with his close friend, the coach of the Green Bay Packers, ahead of their game this week at Lambeau Field. Saleh said Wednesday he and LaFleur speak almost every day and that “he’s […]

The New York Jets did not catch many breaks in their 27-12 loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals. But they did on Monday when injured linebacker Quincy Williams received some good medical news.

Maybe Robert Saleh was on to something earlier this week when he said his team is not “the same old Jets.” It seemed like a bold declaration after the New York Jets’ 24-9 Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens but appeared more telling after an improbable 31-30 comeback win against the Cleveland Browns in […]

Zach Wilson is returning to the field but he’s not ready to be the New York Jets savior. The quarterback will be back at practice this week for the first time since he had knee surgery Aug. 16. “The plan is to get him on the practice field in a ‘routes on air’ capacity,” coach […]
