Jets Expected To Get Two Tackles Back After Their Bye Week

The New York Jets have started off their 2022 season quite well, getting to a record of 5-3 through 8 weeks, and they've done so despite dealing with some of the worst injury luck in the entire NFL. Thankfully for the young Jets team, they appear to be getting reinforcements soon, as it looks like both George Fant and Max Mitchell could be returning after their Week 10 bye, which would potentially have one or both of them available for the rematch with the New England Patriots. 

No one is coming off of IR until after the bye week, saleh said. George Fant and Max Mitchell are eligible to come off.

The young Jets have already exceeded expectations in 2022, and have a very bright future ahead of themselves if they can work out the Quarterback position, and a big way they can figure that out in 2022 is by getting extra protection, something the returning rookie and veteran could certainly provide.

Fant was a solid starting left tackle in 2022, and Mitchell was drafted in the fourth round this year, and while it's unlikely that they are both available for Week 11, there's a very good chance that at least one of them are, and it could be a good boost for a surprising Jets playoff push this season.
