Jets injury report: Marcus Maye suffers Achilles injury in loss to Colts

Marcus Maye suffered an Achilles injury in the Jets’ 45-30 loss to the Colts on Thursday Night Football.

There is a chance that the Jets will be without the anchor of their secondary for the foreseeable future.

Marcus Maye suffered a potentially serious Achilles injury in New York’s loss to the Colts, according to Robert Saleh. Maye departed with a non-contact injury in the second half and did not return.

“I’m sick for him,” Saleh said postgame. “It’s not looking good.”

Maye recently returned from a sprained ankle that kept him out of action for two games. The 28-year-old has 46 tackles, four tackles for loss, two pass deflections, one sack and one quarterback hit in six games this season.

“You look at that secondary, he’s the vet,” Saleh said. “You got a lot of second-year and rookie players and second-year and first-year players in that back end and Marcus was kind of that settling force back there and obviously a heck of a football player.

“I’m more concerned for Marcus than what we’ll do defensively to fill that void because he’s a fantastic young man. He’s done everything we asked him to do.”

The Jets also lost Mike White to injury in their 45-30 loss to the Colts. White suffered a right forearm injury on New York’s second drive of the game and exited after throwing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Moore. White was seen on the sideline trying to get his forearm loose and occasionally throwing, but never returned to the game and gave way to Josh Johnson, who finished with 317 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

“He couldn’t grip the ball,” Saleh said of White. “I think his feeling came back later in the game. Obviously, in the fourth quarter, by then it was too late, so he’ll be evaluated.”

Tyler Kroft suffered a chest injury against Indianapolis after catching a pass. The veteran tight end finished with two receptions for 38 yards.

5 takeaways from the Jets’ deflating Week 9 loss to the Colts

Mike White got hurt on the Jets’ second drive and New York’s defense never showed. Takeaways from Gang Green’s 45-30 loss:

Apparently, the Jets used up all their magic on the Bengals.

The Colts handed it to the Jets on Thursday after Mike White suffered a right forearm injury on New York’s second drive and did not return. Gang Green’s defense, meanwhile, never showed as the Colts cruised to a commanding 45-30 win.

Reality hit the Jets hard on Thursday night. White or no White, Gang Green is still a flawed football team with plenty to improve upon as the season goes on. Here are five takeaways from New York’s Week 9 loss.

Instant Analysis: Sam Darnold’s blunders prove costly in Jets’ loss to Colts

Jets Wire breaks down New York’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Football is all about capitalizing on opportunities. No matter how talented your team is or how hard they play, missed opportunities usually result in a loss.

The Jets learned that lesson firsthand against the Colts in Week 3, as a pair of Sam Darnold interceptions proved costly in a 36-7 loss to Indianapolis. New York lost its first drive to a pick-six and Darnold cost the Jets points again later in the first half with an interception in the end zone. The second half featured much of the same, as Darnold tossed another pick-six, effectively burying any chance of a comeback.

Give the Jets credit. They played tough and hung around a lot longer than they did against the 49ers last weekend. For this team, being competitive beyond the first 13 seconds of a game can be considered progress. Maybe they can parlay that into a complete game against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.

Game Balls

WR Braxton Berrios: Berrios hauled in four passes for 64 yards and a first-quarter touchdown reception. The Miami product has done a fine job for New York since entering the starting lineup in Week 2.

Quick Thoughts

-Another week of struggles for Gregg Williams’ defense, which was supposed to be the strength of the Jets in 2020. Instead, they have been exploited both on the ground and through the air.

-The Jets need Mekhi Becton to be okay. He has been one of the lone bright spots on New York’s offense so far this season and has the makings of a future star at left tackle. Gang Green cannot afford to have him miss any time.

-Obviously, it did not give the Jets any momentum, but a great job by Sam Darnold to bounce back and march the Jets down the field for six after throwing a pick-six to begin the game. It’s unfortunate that he could not overcome the turnover bug and take advantage of that strong second drive.

-Darnold’s at his best when he uses his legs to extend plays and stretch out the defense. It’s not ideal when he is forced out of the pocket before he has time to go through his initial reads, but at least he has a skill set that allows him to make something out of nothing when he has to.

-Do the Jets have something in Berrios? That could be the case. He has displayed a knack for getting open the last couple of weeks.

-Henry Anderson’s string of underwhelming play finally caught up to him, as he was benched to start the game. Frankly, it’s about time. The Stanford product has simply not produced.

-Week 3 marked the first time the Jets did not trail after the first quarter in 2020. You could call that baby steps for New York.

-The Pierre Desir experiment has been an utter disaster so far. From getting benched in his Jets debut to constantly getting beat and flagged in key moments, he has gotten off to a rough start in the Big Apple.

Jets vs. Colts inactives: Braxton Berrios, Connor McGovern active for New York in Week 3

Jets vs. Colts inactives for their Week 3 matchup in Indianapolis.

After being listed as questionable on Friday, Braxton Berrios and Connor McGovern are good to go for the Jets against the Colts in Week 3.

McGovern was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury throughout the week, while Berrios was a last-minute addition to the injury report with a barking hamstring of his own. However, both will suit up for New York against Indianapolis. With Berrios healthy, the Jets’ wide receiver depth chart will feature Berrios, Chris Hogan, Josh Malone and undrafted free agent Lawrence Cager on Sunday.

Despite the good news on Berrios and McGovern, the Jets still enter Week 3 extremely banged up. New York will be without starters Jamison Crowder, George Fant and Breshad Perriman on offense. Gregg Williams will also not have Ashtyn Davis and Quincy Wilson at his disposal on defense.
