The New York Jets will enter a crucial Week 7 matchup with the Miami Dolphins looking to capture the first divisional win of the Aaron Glenn era. And in many ways, it feels like a must-win for Glenn and co.
Glenn enters this game with an 0-7 record against AFC East foes, but the winless 0-5 Dolphins present a golden opportunity for the second-year head coach to notch his first division win and for the Jets to get their season back on track.
The Jets are fresh off a competitive 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots a week ago in a game that dropped them to 2-4 on the season. A loss to the winless Dolphins would likely go down as the worst of the Glenn era.
But the Dolphins aren't a team that should be taken lightly. Despite their 0-5 record, Miami has played competitive football and a very difficult schedule. The combined record of the Dolphins' opponents this season is 22-5, and they've lost by seven points or fewer to the undefeated Vikings and the 3-2 Bengals in consecutive weeks.
The Jets have ruled out three players for today's game: OLB Joseph Ossai (ankle), offensive tackle Max Mitchell (concussion), and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quad). Mauigoa was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday, with the Jets signing undrafted rookie linebacker Jaden Keller to the active roster to replace him.
Running back Breece Hall (quad), running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (knee), and offensive guard Dylan Parham (knee) are all listed as questionable. Hall is expected to work out with team officials before the game but is unlikely to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) is off the injury report and will make his return today after over a month on the sideline.
As for the Dolphins, backup cornerback Reese Taylor (quad) is the only Miami player ruled out. Edge rusher Rob Beal Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful, while linebacker Willie Gay (illness) is questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday.
