Jets rule out Sauce Gardner (concussion) for Eagles game

The New York Jets suffered a significant blow on defense, as Pro Bowl cornerback Sauce Gardner was ruled out Saturday with a concussion.

The Jets will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday without their starting corners, Gardner and D.J. Reed, who was previously declared out with a concussion. Dime back Brandin Echols (hamstring) also is out, leaving the secondary in shambles as it prepares to face the high-powered receiving tandem of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

The likely starters will be Bryce Hall and Craig James, who was elevated Saturday from the practice squad.
