New York Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey is dealing with a groin injury that will keep him out of practice Wednesday, making his status uncertain for their game Sunday against Las Vegas.
asserted
status → deal → Vegas
Coach Aaron Glenn said Bailey finished the Jets’ 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but the No. 2 overall draft pick in April came to the facility Monday and Glenn said his groin issue was “lingering.”
asserted
issue → say → facility
Glenn wouldn’t speculate on whether he thinks Bailey, who leads the Jets with 5 1/2 sacks, would be able to play against the Raiders.
asserted
who → speculate → Raiders
“We’ll see how he operates,” the coach said.
asserted
coach → see → ?
“We’ll see during the week.”
asserted
We → see → week
Bailey has been a bright spot for the Jets, who are off to a 2-5 start and have lost their last two games.
asserted
who → lose → games
The former Texas Tech star has 35 tackles, making him and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher the only players since 2000 to have at least 5 1/2 sacks and 35 tackles in their first seven NFL games.
asserted
him → have → games
It appears the Jets will be down at least two other defensive starters when they face Las Vegas, which is on a four-game skid and will continue starting Kirk Cousins at quarterback over No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.
asserted
which → appear → pick
Defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat hurt a knee in the game against the Dolphins and Glenn said he’ll be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, as will edge rusher Joseph Ossai, who missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
asserted
who → hurt → injury
Braelon Allen banged up a bit while Breece Hall works toward a return
Glenn said running back Braelon Allen will be limited at practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury.
asserted
Allen → bang → injury
Allen has been another positive for the Jets this season, rushing for more than 100 yards in two of his last three games while filling in for the injured Breece Hall.
asserted
Allen → rush → Hall
Allen ran for 104 yards on 17 carries against the Dolphins and set a career high with six receptions.
asserted
Allen → run → receptions
Hall, who has missed four games with a quadriceps injury, is nearing a return.
asserted
who → miss → return
Glenn said he would be limited Wednesday, as he was last Thursday and Friday in his first practice sessions since being injured in Week 3 at Detroit.
asserted
he → say → Detroit
Glenn said Allen’s role won’t necessarily change in the offense when Hall is back.
asserted
Hall → say → offense
“I think you know that Braelon, we also gave him the ball when Breece was with us and playing,” Glenn said.
asserted
Glenn → think → us
“So, I’ve said this here numerous times: Both of those guys can carry the load.
asserted
Both → say → load
It doesn’t matter which guy’s in there.
asserted
guy → matter → ?
Whoever goes down, we have full confidence in those guys.”
asserted
we → go → guys
Left guard Dylan Parham, who like Hall has missed the last four games, will be limited with a knee injury but also appears close to returning.
asserted
who → miss → injury
Jordan Meredith has replaced him on the O-line.
asserted
Meredith → replace → line
Offensive lineman Max Mitchell remains in the concussion protocol.
asserted
Mitchell → remain → protocol
Linebacker Demario Davis and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips had veteran rest days Wednesday.
asserted
Davis → have → days
Jets are putting in more time on their 2-minute woes
In light of their issues in two-minute situations in games, Glenn said the Jets are devoting more time at practice to try to solve things.
asserted
Jets → put → things
New York has been outscored 107-6 in the final two minutes of the first half during the last two seasons under Glenn, a span of 24 games.
asserted
York → outscore → games
“When we go out there and practice, man, we see it — it’s crisp and it starts to work, when it is working,” Glenn said.
asserted
Glenn → go → it
“Then when you get in the game, it just seems like we just stall.
asserted
we → get → game
But I’m a firm believer in the more you do it, the more you work at it and staying positive with what we’re trying to do will give us a chance to improve in that area.”
asserted
we → ’m → area
Glenn, who took over the defensive play-calling duties this season, acknowledged that doing so while also overseeing the entire team is a challenge.
asserted
doing → take → team
But he said it isn’t stretching him thin.
asserted
it → say → him
“It’s not easy,” Glenn said.
asserted
Glenn → ’ → ?
“I will be up front and tell you that, but it’s my job to try to make sure these things happen.
asserted
things → tell → that
And I’m going to put the stress on me to be able to do that.”
asserted
I → go → that
