Miles Ready to Step Up if Called Upon

With starting safety Calvin Pryor nursing a concussion, Rontez Miles sits on deck for Monday’s game against the Colts.

Predominantly a special teams ace, Miles has made an impact with his limited snaps on defense. Against the Rams, Miles was integral in a goal-line stand early in the first quarter as he drove back TE Lance Kendricks for no gain on second and goal from the 2. Last Sunday against the Patriots, the Jets flooded the field with defensive backs and Miles became part of a three-safety look that included Pryor and Marcus Gilchrist.
