New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed will be sidelined against the Denver Broncos on Sunday as he continues to recover from a concussion. Coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that Reed still had not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol. That leaves the Jets without one of their key defensive leaders against Russell Wilson and the Broncos. Saleh wouldn’t reveal who would start in Reed’s place opposite Sauce Gardner, but nickelback Michael Carter II and former starter Bryce Hall could be options. Backup cornerback Brandin Echols will also miss the game with a hamstring injury.

Reed, who signed with the Jets as a free agent last offseason, finished New York’s game against Kansas City last Sunday night, but Saleh said he had “a couple of symptoms” earlier in the week. Saleh remained optimistic Reed would clear the concussion protocol, but the cornerback didn’t practice. Reed is third on the team with 28 overall tackles.
Hall was a fifth-round pick out of Virginia in 2020 who started in 24 games during his first two seasons, including all 17 contests in 2021. He struggled in coverage at times and became a backup last year after the Jets signed Reed and drafted Gardner. Hall has become a standout on special teams since seeing his role on defense diminish.
New York’s secondary did get some good news with safety Tony Adams set to return after missing two games with a hamstring injury.While it might seem a farfetched goal to some, the Jets aren’t among the naysayers.
