Reverse fortunes on the injury front

It’s fitting that the Jets and the Steelers are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to injuries heading into Sunday.

New York is still banged up as it has been all season and will be without two key offensive players on Sunday. Tom Compton and Demaryius Thomas are both doubtful to play and while the Jets are getting a bevy of key defensive players back on the field, Compton and Thomas not playing on Sunday give Gang Green two gaping holes to fill at key positions.

The Steelers, meanwhile, are in a perfect position on the injury front. They’re getting everyone back healthy on Sunday, including star receiver JuJu Smith- Schuster.
