In a concerning development for the New York Jets, wide receiver Davante Adams missed practice on Thursday due to a hip injury, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. This follows a disappointing performance against the Los Angeles Rams, where Adams managed seven receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown, bringing his season totals to 56 catches for 719 yards and six touchdowns across nine games since joining the Jets from Las Vegas. With only 72 yards needed to reach his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season, Adams has been a key player for the Jets this year.
In addition to Adams, cornerback Sauce Gardner is also a significant concern, having missed the second half of the game against the Rams due to a hamstring issue. His status for the Bills game remains uncertain, especially since he previously missed a game due to a hamstring injury earlier in the season. Right tackle Morgan Moses and right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker have been playing through their injuries in recent weeks, which raises questions about their effectiveness on the field.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has been dealing with a minor MCL issue, practiced fully and expressed determination to play despite his injury. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams was limited in practice after missing the previous game, and several other players, including left guard John Simpson and defensive end Haason Reddick, were also limited or sidelined due to various ailments. The Jets are facing a challenging situation as they prepare for a crucial matchup against their division rivals.
