The Jets might be without Jamison Crowder and Denzel Mims for a second straight week when they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 3.
Crowder is still dealing with a groin injury that kept him out of action against the Patriots and is a game-time decision, according to Robert Saleh. With Crowder cannot suit up, Braxton Berrios will likely work primarily out of the slot with Elijah Moore shifting outside. Berrios caught seven of his team-high 11 targets for 73 yards in New York’s Week 2 loss to New England.
Mims is also a game-time decision, but his status is not tied to an injury. Last year’s second-round pick was a healthy scratch against the Patriots and that could once again be the case against the Broncos.
Saleh said Friday that he is “pumped for Denzel and the week he’s had,” but his chances of suiting up against Denver still seem slim considering the Jets’ desire to utilize wide receivers who can bring more to the table — both on offense and special teams.
