EAST RUTHERFORD -- A handful of Jets played well in Thursday night's 24-18 victory over the Eagles at MetLife Stadium. It was the final preseason tune-up--but it was also the final opportunity for a number of players to make the 53-man roster.
The Jets, like every other NFL team, have to whittle their roster from 75 to 53 players by 4 p.m. Saturday. It's likely, then, that a lot of guys who had good games Thursday night won't make the cut.
"We have a bunch of tough decisions--wide receiver, defensive back, offensive line," head coach Todd Bowles said. "We have a bunch of guys that can play football in this league. And we've got, numbers-wise, there are going to be some tough decision to make."
