The New York Jets find themselves in a challenging situation with a 2-3 record, yet they remain in contention for the AFC East title. The division has not proven to be as competitive as anticipated, and the Jets’ difficulties can largely be linked to ineffective offensive play design and injuries affecting several key defensive players.
One key absence has been star linebacker C.J. Mosley, who has missed the last three games due to a toe injury. As the Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills approaches, Mosley has returned to practice in a limited capacity and is currently listed as questionable for the game.
Despite this uncertainty, new Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich remains optimistic about Mosley’s availability for the Bills clash. “CJ Mosley had a good week, Jeff Ulbrich said they’re hopeful he’ll play,” reported Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic on X.
Having Mosley back would provide a substantial boost to the New York defense, particularly as it prepares to face Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.
Following the recent firing of a head coach, teams often find an extra spark of motivation, and Ulbrich has already received commendations for his efforts since stepping in for Robert Saleh.
This upcoming AFC East showdown carries implications, as the victor will ascend to the top of the division standings, making it intriguing to see if Ulbrich can secure his first win.
