Decker only practiced once last week due to a quadriceps injury, but was hoping to play in the game against the Bengals. The Jets will take a cautious approach with their new wideout sitting him for the game.

Other offensive starters who won’t see any action this game include: Chris Ivory, and Jeff Cumberland. Jalen Saunders didn’t make the trip to Cincinnati due to a one-car accident the day before the team departed.
