The New York Jets will have some very difficult roster decisions to make over the next 48 hours, and no position group poses more of a challenge for the team's top decision-makers than wide receiver.
Fan-favorites summer standouts such as Brandon Smith, Jamaal Pritchett, and Quentin Skinner have been pushing for roster spots, and based on merit, it's hard to argue any of the three deserve to be left off.
But NFL roster decisions are rarely determined on merit alone. A recent injury update regarding veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard could be bad news for some of the Jets' younger roster hopefuls.
