NY Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke to the media on Monday and gave them updates on several injured players.<\/p>\n
Jarrad Davis<\/strong><\/p>\n Jarrad Davis, obviously, he has an ankle. It\u2019s going to take him into the season but, we expect him back sometime around the Bye Week.<\/p>\n Is he a candidate for the injured reserve, to be activated later?<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019ll be something that I\u2019ll talk to Joe (Douglas) about, but we\u2019ll decide that later.<\/p>\n Is it a high ankle sprain?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, that would probably be more for the doctors, sometimes they speak Chinese. (joking) It is an ankle, not necessarily a high ankle sprain but it\u2019s enough that it\u2019ll be treated like one.<\/p>\n Linebacker Depth<\/strong><\/p>\n We really like our linebacker group. We\u2019ve got a combination of youth and experience. (Jamien) Sherwood has been doing a really nice job so, we\u2019re expecting him to slide in and pick up where Jarrad left off. He\u2019s been having a really nice camp and it\u2019s an opportunity for him to step in and take on a bigger role. With regards to that linebacker group, we\u2019re really excited about that unit.<\/p>\n Other injured guys, specifically Mike White, AVT (Alijah Vera-Tucker), Elijah Moore<\/strong><\/p>\n AVT, we\u2019re hoping he gets action this week. Same thing with Elijah Moore, that one\u2019s going to be more day-to-day, but we\u2019re hoping that we can get him back this week. Mike White, obviously, day-to-day, just evaluating him every day.<\/p>\n Ronald Blair and Conor McDermott<\/strong><\/p>\n Ronnie, he\u2019s going to be day-to-day. We\u2019ll see with all the testing that he has today. McDermott, he\u2019s working through, it\u2019s going to be through the season with his injury. He\u2019s looking at some more evaluations to see which direction he wants to go. That\u2019s about the extent on those two.<\/p>\n Missed time here for Elijah Moore and Alijah Vera-Tucker, both of them rookies, missing a lot of time in camp<\/strong><\/p>\n For sure. My concern is just the lack of reps, but that goes for everybody. If Marcus Maye was missing reps, I\u2019d be concerned for him too because of how much we value reps and execution. But the good thing about those two is, I mean, you see them in walkthrough, AVT\u2019s been getting a lot of walkthrough reps, and Elijah Moore is over there just constantly absorbing as much information as he can. So, a lot of confidence in those two and be able to step in and, at least, know what they\u2019re doing. And there might be a little bit of rustiness with regards to timing and all that, but those are things that we feel that they\u2019ll be able to adjust to pretty quickly.<\/p>\n Bless Austin<\/strong><\/p>\n No disciplinary action. Bless had a personal issue and we felt like it was important for him to regroup rather than throw him out on the football field.<\/p>\n Quinnen Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re going to up him this week. We had it maxed out between 10 and 12\u00a0reps per practice last week, we\u2019re going to try to up that to 20 this week as we ramp him up and continue to work through them. And he looked exactly like we thought, he was a little rusty but he\u2019s a big powerful man and he\u2019s excited to continue to work through it, and I know Aaron (Whitecotton), our d-line coach, is really happy that he\u2019s around and now we just got to hone in on our technique and hone in on the small details that\u2019s going to make him special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NY Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke to the media on Monday and gave them updates on several injured players.
