The Jets are expected to have WR Jamison Crowder (groin), their receptions and yards leader since 2019, back in the lineup against the Titans Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
"He's a veteran presence," HC Robert Saleh said. "He's a reliable route runner, knows all the positions. In those clutch situations, third down, he's someone who can get separation and be a comforting option for the quarterback. But he's won 1-on-1s for a long time in his career and we're excited to have his reliability and veteran leadership back out there."
Crowder, who has experience playing in this offense during his time in Washington, has been limited in practice this week and has 137 receptions, 1,531 yards and 12 TDs in two seasons with the Green & White. Even though Crowder may be up, both WRs Elijah Moore (concussion) and Jeff Smith (concussion) will be out and Saleh said second-year WR Denzel Mims will be active for the first time since Week 1 at Carolina.
"He's going to get some opportunity," he said. "Hopefully he takes advantage of it, and we're expecting him to. He's stacked up a third consecutive week of great, deliberate practice. He's really getting comfortable within the offense. We're excited to see him get his [opportunity]."
