ImagesIt is Thursday, which means it is podcast mailbag day. Thanks to everybody
who sent in questions for this week’s show. There wouldn’t be a mailbag show
without mailbag questions, and it was a big response this week. We had so many
that I’m thinking of doing a second mailbag on Friday just to try and get to all
of them. Today we look at the floor and ceiling of Frankie Luvu, what options
remain at the center position, whether Muhammad Wilkerson is worth bringing back
on a cheap deal, whether high-risk high-reward is the best strategy in the
Draft, whether the Jets should explore a trade of Darron Lee for Pittsburgh’s
Artie Burns, whether Lee could have a productive role on the team this
season
Youth C.J. Mosley Jerseys , and whether the team should push to bring back Morris Claiborne.Thank you again for the mailbag questions, and thank you for listening
to the show. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets will be short-handed in
Chicago.Wide receiver Robby Anderson is doubtful for Sunday’s game because of an
ankle injury that kept him out of practice all week. Receiver Quincy Enunwa was
previously ruled out with a high ankle sprain.That leaves rookie quarterback Sam
Darnold without two top receivers.“We’ve got a few guys banged up, but, I mean,
we’ve got guys in here and they’ve been practicing,” coach Todd Bowles said
Friday. “We expect them to play well on Sunday.”Jermaine Kearse and recently
signed Rishard Matthews could see lots of action , with Andre Roberts, Charone
Peake and rookie Deontay Burnett also healthy.“We’ve got all hands on deck this
week,” Bowles said.Kearse is third on the team with 16 catches and led the Jets
with 65 receptions last year
C.J. Mosley Jerseys Stitched , so he’s used to being counted on in the offense.“I don’t think pressure is what I would feel,” Kearse said. “I go out every week,
regardless, with the same mindset and make the most of each opportunity. It’s no
different this week. As far as pressure having to step up because we’ve got some
guys out, I don’t think I would change anything I would do normally.”Matthews
was signed Monday, four weeks after he was granted his request to be released by
Tennessee. He has been cramming in extra work on the practice field with Darnold
and the other receivers, trying to quickly get up to speed.“We’ll have a plan
for him on Sunday if he plays and we’ll kind of go from there,” Bowles said.
“I’m not expecting him to learn everything all at once, but we’ve got other guys
that can play as well, so we’ll make that determination.”Burnett was promoted
from the practice squad last Saturday after the Jets released Terrelle Pryor
with an injury settlement after he hurt his groin. Pryor recently posted videos
of him working out
Youth Le’Veon Bell Jersey , saying he was healthy and ready to go, but Bowles said re-signing him this weekend wouldn’t be in the team’s plans and the Jets would
re-evaluate the situation next week. Pryor’s locker remained intact nearly a
week after he was let go.Burnett played against Minnesota last Sunday and caught
his first regular-season pass, a 9-yarder from Darnold — who was his college
quarterback at USC.The speedy 6-foot, 186-pound speedster could help fill
Anderson’s role as a receiver who could stretch the field for Darnold.“You don’t
want those guys out because they’re key contributors to our team, but it’s the
next-man-up mentality,” Burnett said. “Practice this week has been good. As long
as you prepare, you shouldn’t go out there with any doubts.”The Jets’ backfield
is banged up, too, with Bilal Powell out for the season with a neck injury. That
leaves Isaiah Crowell and rookie Trenton Cannon as the only running backs on the
roster, although Bowles said promoting De’Angelo Henderson from the practice
squad is a consideration if they choose to add someone else to the mix.Center
Spencer Long is questionable with finger and knee ailments after originally
being listed as doubtful. He has struggled in recent weeks with shotgun
snaps
Le’Veon Bell Jersey Stitched , so Jonotthan Harrison or Dakota Dozier would replace him on the starting offensive line if he can’t play.Harrison worked quite a bit at
center with Darnold in training camp, so he would appear to be the likely
choice.“If that were to be the case on Sunday, I know we’re more than prepared,”
Harrison said.Left tackle Kelvin Beachum is questionable with a back injury, but
participated on a limited basis at practice Thursday and Friday after sitting
out Wednesday.The secondary got a boost with cornerback Buster Skrine cleared
from the concussion protocol after he missed two games.It was the fourth
concussion suffered by Skrine in the last three years, but he isn’t concerned
about possible long-term effects.“I feel good,” he said. “If I felt like I
couldn’t play, then I wouldn’t go back out there. … You can’t worry about things
day-to-day or down the road. You’ve got to live for now.”Skrine is usually the
Jets’ slot cornerback, but could see work on the outside, too
Infant Blake Cashman Jersey , against the Bears. Fellow cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) is doubtful and Morris Claiborne (shoulder/foot) is
questionable.Safety Marcus Maye is also questionable with a broken thumb that
sidelined him last week. Doug Middleton, his replacement, is out for the year
after tearing a pectoral muscle, so Maye’s return would be a big help. The Jets
also signed former Cowboys and Browns safety Ibraheim Campbell this week to add
depth.
