The Jets suffered another big loss on defense in Green Bay.

Starting linebacker Jarrad Davis will be out about two months after injuring his ankle in Saturday’s preseason victory over the Packers. Robert Saleh said Davis would be back sometime around the Jets’ bye, which is Week 6.

This is another huge hit to Saleh’s revamped defense. Edge rusher Carl Lawson’s first season as a Jet ended on Thursday in a joint practice with the Packers when he ruptured his Achilles.
