Jets have an obvious reunion move after Azareye'h Thomas injury

The New York Jets suddenly find themselves a little thin at cornerback after the team placed rookie third-round pick Azareye'h Thomas on the injured reserve on Saturday.

Thomas suffered a shoulder injury in the team's Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins and, instead of using the final few games of the season to solidify his place in the team's cornerback plans for 2026, the Florida State product will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season.

His injury leaves the Jets' cornerback room rather thin, especially following the midseason departures of Sauce Gardner and Michael Carter II and an injury to Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
