The NY Jets are less than two hours away from kicking off what promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. It all starts against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.
The Jets and Bills will meet for the first time this season as two of the presumptive AFC East favorites do battle. Tonight will mark the Jets debut of Aaron Rodgers, and it isn't a stretch to say this is one of the most highly anticipated games in franchise history.
Fortunately for both teams, the Jets and Bills enter this game very healthy. Buffalo will be without star pass rusher Von Miller, but since he remains on the PUP list, he is not a part of their list of inactives.
The Jets, on the other hand, also will essentially be at full strength. Each of the Jets' inactives for Week 1 is a healthy scratch, as the team enters the Jets with a very healthy roster.
The only notable absence the Jets are dealing with is safety Chuck Clark, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the spring. The likes of Breece Hall (knee), Mekhi Becton (knee/illness), and Duane Brown (shoulder), who were all listed as questionable on the final injury report, are playing.
As for the Bills, they didn't list a single player on their final injury report for Week 1. Safety Micah Hyde was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a back injury, but he returned as a full participant the following day.
Below is a list of every inactive player for both the Jets and Bills tonight.
