Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Wednesday that wide receiver Corey Davis is still out on personal leave. Saleh said Davis can take as much time as he needs before returning to the team, and the coach wouldn’t comment on Davis’ status for Week 1 against the Bills.
Davis has been out since August 16 due to a personal matter. He had been the subject of plenty of speculation about him being cut throughout the offseason but Saleh has continued to go out of his way to say he is a part of the wide receiver room.

The Jets would save about $10 million in salary cap space if they release Davis, who is in the final year of the three-year deal he signed in 2021 following a four-year stint with the Titans.
Lately, Davis has seemingly looked like one of the top five wide receivers on the roster and can still give the Jets another big target to go along with Allen Lazard.
