The Jets are still dealing with concussions for their top two cornerbacks, Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. Head coach Robert Saleh said both remain in the concussion protocol and that they will know more about the status of both players on Wednesday.

Gardner and Reed both missed New York’s Week 6 win against the Eagles. Reed has missed the last two games, being out since the Week 5 win against the Broncos.
The Jets were also without Brandin Echols against the Eagles. Bryce Hall and Craig James were the starting cornerbacks.
New York is certainly hoping the bye week gave Gardner and Reed the extra rest they needed and they can be available for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.
