With the 2020 preseason already shortened by two weeks and the NFLPA voting to scrap it in its entirety, fringe players around the league are in danger of missing out on football’s most valuable proving ground.

The Jets have had numerous players star in the preseason in order to earn a spot on the 53-man roster in recent years. Robby Anderson did enough to secure his place in 2016, while Kyle Phillips came out of nowhere to make the active roster last preseason. New York’s roster currently features a handful of intriguing players that could do enough throughout the preseason to lock up a roster spot, but now, those players are not going to get as much of an opportunity to prove their worth as in the past.

So, which four Jets could suffer the most from a shortened preseason? Let’s take a look.

Bryce Hall

Hall’s circumstances are vastly different than those of the other players on this list. He doesn’t need a strong preseason to make the team, but his development could take a hit with the schedule cut in half.

New York’s rookie cornerback needs as many reps as possible leading up to the regular season in order to regain his form following a major ankle injury that cost him most of his senior year at Virginia. Practice reps are valuable, but do not come close to what live, full-contact preseason reps offer.

As long as Hall makes proper use of his reps in practice, odds are he will be back to his old self before long. It just might take a little bit longer without a four-game preseason slate working to his advantage.
