The New York Jets backfield will be a full go against the Buffalo Bills when the two faceoff in their 2023 season openers.
New York head coach Robert Saleh said both Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall will be available against Buffalo. But the coach did admit there will be a bit of thinking going into the decision.
“I don’t know if I want to call it a snap count, but we are gonna be smart with them,” Saleh said per Jets Wire. “We’ll continue to evaluate and build up what we think Monday needs to be, but it’s not that we’re putting a snap count on it.”
Cook, brother of Bills running back James Cook, signed with the Jets last month. Prior to heading to New York, Cook had offseason shoulder surgery and has been limited in practices.
However, Cook has not appeared on the injury report prior to facing the Bills. The Jets have listed Hall, though.
Hall suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2022. Despite being listed as limited by New York this week, it appears Buffalo will be getting a dose of both backs to begin the season.
In addition to Cook and Hall, the Jets’ backfield sports a healthy Michael Carter as well… and of course, quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
