Jamal Adams and Le’Veon Bell will miss their first game of the 2019 season Sunday when the Jets host the Dolphins.
Adams suffered an ankle sprain last week in Cincinnati and is considered week-to-week, while Bell has an illness. For Adams, this is his first game that he’s ever missed in the NFL. Darryl Roberts will likely slide into his position at safety.
The Jets will be without a couple of other key members in their secondary. Brian Poole (concussion) and Arthur Maulet (calf) are both out for Sunday’s game. Expect Nate Hairston to take Poole’s spot in the slot and Maurice Canady should get the start on the outside for Maulet.
Chuma Edoga will sit out for the second straight game with an ankle injury. Paul Worrilow (quad) and Mathias Farley (rib/ankle) are also out as well.
