More from Jets News

• NY Jets should target TE Hunter Henry in free agency
• NY Jets: Why the team should target cornerback Shaquill Griffin
• NY Jets reportedly non-tendering linebacker Harvey Langi
• NY Jets: Why the team should not cut Jamison Crowder
• NY Jets should try to sign Kenny Golladay in free agency

It’s not good to see that Eric Decker did not practice today, as he didn’t practice yesterday either. Rex Ryan said today that he doesn’t necessarily have to practice much to be able to go out there on Monday night, but it would certainly help to see Decker out there on Saturday. The Jets need him quite severely, as we know.

Dee Milliner did practice on a limited basis, although the jury is still out as to whether or not Milliner is ready to be on the field anyway. We will follow Decker and Milliner as the week goes along. Rex didn’t seem particularly nervous about any of the other principle players that were limited.

Now, what a break it would be for the Jets’ secondary if Alshon Jeffery and/or Brandon Marshall are limited or can’t play on Monday. We can dream.
