FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Adam Gase believes the Jets have enough depth at outside linebacker to overcome Brandon Copeland’s four-game suspension.

Gase said the Jets knew Copeland’s ban for taking PEDs was coming so they specifically had been rotating different guys in there with starter Jordan Jenkins, who tied for the team lead with seven sacks last year.

Former Patriot Harvey Langhi played with the first-team defense Thursday. But the Jets also have aggressive Frankie Luvu, Tarell Basham and Jachai Polite.
