Elijah Moore nearing return with 2 other Jets in concussion protocol

Robert Saleh revealed that Jets WR Elijah Moore is close to coming out of concussion protocol.

Robert Saleh received more good news following his first win as a head coach.

Saleh revealed that WR Elijah Moore is close to coming out of concussion protocol on Monday. The rookie missed New York’s Week 4 victory over the Titans after suffering a concussion in Week 3 against the Broncos.

Moore, the 34th overall pick, came into the season with high expectations. However, the speedy and versatile receiver has yet to make a sizeable impact, catching eight passes for 66 yards. Moore missed the entire preseason due to injury; he was thrown into the fire in his first few NFL games.

While Moore is almost ready to return, CB Brandin Echols and WR Jeff Smith are day-to-day in concussion protocol. Smith suffered his head injury in a car accident last week, while Echols exited the Titans game early on.
