Family drama takes center stage for Jets rookie in Week 5 showdown

Family ties will take center stage when the New York Jets take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. Rookie cornerback Azareye’h Thomas likely won’t see much action for the Jets’ defense, but Sunday’s matchup will still be a special one, as his older brother will be lining up on the other sideline.

And not only will he be lining up, Juanyeh Thomas, the older brother of the Jets' rookie cornerback, is expected to start for the Cowboys today after Dallas placed starting safety Malik Hooker on the injured reserve with a toe injury.
