The New York Jets find themselves in a tricky situation with a 2-3 record, yet they remain in contention for the AFC East title. The division hasn’t turned out to be as competitive as anticipated, and the Jets’ difficulties can largely be linked to ineffective offensive play design and injuries to key defensive players.
Notably, they’ve been without star linebacker C.J. Mosley for the last three games due to a toe injury. As they prepare for their Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Mosley returned to practice in a limited capacity and is listed as questionable for the game.
New Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich remains optimistic about Mosley’s availability. “C.J. Mosley had a good week; we’re hopeful he’ll play,” Ulbrich said, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic on X.
Bringing Mosley back would significantly strengthen the Jets’ defense, especially as they aim to contain Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Following a head coach’s firing, teams often feel an extra surge of motivation, and Ulbrich has already received commendation for his performance since taking over from Robert Saleh.
This AFC East clash is crucial, as the winner will rise to the top of the division standings, making it compelling to see if Ulbrich can secure his first victory.
