Jets hopeful cornerback Bless Austin can play Sunday
Bless Austin may only be a second-year pro. But that makes him a grizzled veteran in the Jets’ secondary.
That’s why coach Adam Gase was holding out hope the cornerback will be able to play on Sunday against the explosive Chargers in Los Angeles.
Austin was listed as questionable with a neck injury on Friday. Gase, before practice and before the Jets left for the West Coast, said: "Hopefully, Bless has a good day today and we’re good to go for Sunday."
Austin had an MRI on Thursday. Without relating specifics, Gase said "That’s a positive MRI result. We’ll see how today goes."
