What the analysts are saying
“The Jets are placing their first-round rookie on injured reserve after he suffered an ankle injury in his NFL debut last week. He is going to miss at least four weeks as a result, but he's not expected to be out much beyond that. Adonai Mitchell and Kenyon Sadiq will both see increased opportunities in his absence for the next few weeks at least.”
