Updated Jets depth chart following roster cuts

Jets Wire evaluates the Jets’ projected depth chart after cutting their roster down to 53.

With training camp and the 2020 offseason now in the books, the Jets’ depth chart has somewhat of a new look to it.

New York parted ways with 27 players on Saturday in order to cut its roster down to 53. Some of those players reverted back to the practice squad and have a chance to begin the year on the active roster, while others are now seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

Let’s take a look at how the Jets’ depth chart reads after cut day and some potential changes that could be in store before Week 1.

Note: There are more than 53 players listed below, as the Jets have yet to determine who is going on injured reserve. 

Quarterback

Syndication: NorthJersey

Starter: Sam Darnold

Backups: Joe Flacco, James Morgan

Flacco is on the 53-man roster, but will miss New York’s first couple of games as he works his way back from offseason neck surgery. James Morgan is not ready to serve as Sam Darnold’s backup, which leaves practice squad signal-callers David Fales and Mike White duking it out for the No. 2 spot to begin 2020. Fales has the advantage here.
