Jets injury report: Breshad Perriman sits out practice with knee injury

Breshad Perriman was held out of Sunday’s practice due to a knee injury.

Add Breshad Perriman to the list of injured Jets wide receivers.

Perriman sat out of Sunday’s practice due to a knee injury. His knee swelled up a bit on Saturday, but the injury is not considered serious and the expectation is that he’ll be back on Monday.

RT Chuma Edoga didn’t finish practice, as he suffered a calf injury. Edoga is in a battle at right tackle with George Fant. Meanwhile, LB Patrick Onwuasor had tests done on his knee that revealed no torn ligaments. He’ll be out for an extended period of time.

WR Denzel Mims (hamstring), CB Brian Poole (dehydration), CB Pierre Desir (hamstring) LB James Burgess (back), Corbin Kaufusi (hamstring), RB Josh Adams (hamstring), S Mathias Farley (hamstring), OL Connor McDermott (knee), DL John Franklin Myers (groin) and DE Jabari Zuniga (quad) were all held out of practice once again. Poole had an extreme reaction to dehydration due to an undisclosed condition.

LB Avery Williamson said he felt good in his return to practice after being out for about a year with a torn ACL.

Jets’ Kaufusi bothers help their mayor mom in social distancing video

Jets’ Bronson and Corbi Kaufusi use their six-foot frames to help their mom, Michelle, show the citizens of Provo what social distancing is.

Social distancing is crucial in stopping the spread of the coronavirus and ensuring the NFL season starts on time. The idea is that everyone should keep at least six feet between each other to curb the human-to-human transmission of the virus.

But six feet is hard to visualize, sometimes, so the mayor of Provo, Utah, Michelle Kaufusi enlisted her NFL sons – Jets defensive linemen Bronson and Corbin Kaufusi – to give her citizens a visual representation of an appropriate social distance. Mayor Kaufusi urged everyone to stay at least a “Kaufusi” away from one another when leaving the house.

As you can see below, the Kaufsui brothers are actually a lot taller than six feet. Bronson is 6-foot-6 and Corbin is 6-foot-9. That extra length, though, helps reinforce the notion of how to keep yourself and others safe during this pandemic.

The Kaufusi family has deep ties to Provo. Michelle was born and raised in the city before becoming mayor in 2017 and her husband, Steve Kaufusi, is a former Philadephia Eagles defensive lineman who went to and coached the Brigham Young football team. Michelle, Bronson, Corbin and their third brother, Devin, all attended BYU as well.

Both Bronson and Corbin played on a crowded Jets’ defensive line and didn’t see much action in 2019. Bronson played in only three games, in which he recorded half a sack and three tackles. Corbin played on the practice squad this past season and signed a  reserve/future contract in December.

49ers to sign ex-Jets OL Tom Compton to 1-year deal

The 49ers are expected to sign former Jets offensive lineman Tom Compton to a one-year deal.

The Jets will have to find a replacement for backup offensive lineman Tom Compton.

According to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, the 49ers are signing Compton to a one-year deal worth $3 million.

Compton joined the Jets on a one-year deal last offseason. He started the season out as a backup interior lineman. However, that changed when Brian Winters went down with season-ending shoulder surgery. Compton started five games in Winters’ place before ending the season on injured reserve.

With Compton gone, the Jets are going to need some help at guard. Alex Lewis and Winters have proven over their careers that they are vulnerable to getting injured, so some depth is definitely needed. Losing Compton is not a significant loss, but the Jets are going to have to find a decent guard to take his place.
