The NY Jets announced a few roster moves yesterday and today. Kyle Philips has been activated and Braxton Berrios has been placed on I.R. The full injury report for Sunday appears below but Robert Saleh told the media that it doesn’t look like Elijah Moore will play against the Bills.
Saleh was also asked for clarity on the recovery timeline for George Fant and Connor McGovern he said:
I don’t have the exact number. They should be ready to go by OTAs. I don’t want to put a date on it, but their season is not in jeopardy, their offseason is not in jeopardy.
He was asked if both players were having surgery to which he answered:
Yeah, I think just clean-ups.
