The forever changing Jets offensive line remains in flux as Jets head coach Robert Saleh told the media today that tackle Billy Turner has a broken bone in his hand. Saleh called the injury “concerning”.
If unable to go against the Raiders, the Jets would field yet another offensive line combo which would be their eighth different look in nine games. Turner earned his first start this past Monday night against the Chargers and struggled mightily as he surrendered nine quarterback pressures and three sacks according to pro football focus.
If Turner can’t go and Duane Brown isn’t cleared, expect the team to kick Max Mitchell back out to right tackle with Mekhi Becton starting on the left side and either Xavier Newman or the newly signed Rodger Saffold at right guard.
