Jets could find unexpected silver lining in Sauce Gardner injury

One man's misfortune is another's opportunity. Sauce Gardner was just one of many New York Jets to leave Sunday's match up to succumb to injury. The winless Jets were already without many top names on a deficient roster, and the latest wave makes the future look pretty bleak. Unless you're Azareye'h Thomas.

While most fans would have preferred for Thomas, the promising 21-year-old rookie out of Florida State, to replace Brandon Stephens in the lineup, it might be Gardner's concussion that gives him his big break.
