He took a ''personal'' day yesterday, missing practice.

Saleh said Moore is back in the Jets building but has been excused from team meetings ahead of Sunday's game against Denver. 

Saleh said the Jets ''can't trade'' Moore and the team would ''continue working with'' the disgruntled second-year receiver, who has eight targets over his past three games in the Jets' run-heavy offense. ''He's not a bad kid,'' Saleh said of Moore. 

Through six games this season, Moore has 16 catches for 203 yards on 29 targets. Receivers Corey Davis and Garrett Wilson could see a slight uptick in targets with Moore inactive.
