Roster Shuffle Ahead
New York Jets Place Three Players on Injured Reserve Before Detroit Game
Anonymous
The 1-1 New York Jets head into Sunday’s game against Detroit after a painful overtime loss to Green Bay, but they see early returns from offseason additions as a reason for optimism: rookie edge rusher David Bailey has two sacks and leads the team with eight pressures, while safety Dane Belton has helped fill in for injured Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Jets placed defensive lineman David Onyemata, linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball and receiver Arian Smith on injured reserve, with Smith out for the season and Onyemata expected to miss several weeks; tight end Mason Taylor and Bailey also have injuries, though coach Aaron Glenn has said both will be fine. New York added Malik McClain, Jack Heflin and Troy Reeder to its active roster and signed Isaiah Loudermilk and Cody Hardy to the practice squad, while reporting says the team’s starters are generally expected to be available against the Lions. Detroit, meanwhile, promoted center Seth McLaughlin to its active roster and re-signed linebacker Joe Bachie to its practice squad.
