Injury Update On New York Jets Safety

Despite their recent lack of form, the New York Jets still have a very good chance to end their 11-year playoff drought in 2022, with two wins and a Patriots loss, and yesterday, Head Coach Robert Saleh announced that the defence could get a massive boost this week.

That would be in the form of LaMarcus Joyner, who has missed the past two weeks due to a hip injury, but now, the team has expressed optimism that he can return to practice this week ahead of a must-win game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17.

Saleh said the Jets are hopeful that safety Lamarcus Joyner will return this week from his hip injury.

While Joyner hasn't taken the next step into stardom as a member of the Jets, he has been very solid in 2022, with 55 tackles, 1 fumble recovery, 3 interceptions and 6 passes defended, and pairing him with Jordan Whitehead once again will be a major help for their playoff chances.
