Jets S Marcus Maye slowly working his way back to full strength

Alongside Pro Bowler Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye helped give the Jets one of the NFL’s best young safety tandems. Unfortunately, Maye’s 2018 campaign was cut short by a shoulder injury that required surgery.

Maye is still working his way back to full strength, and though he’s not ready to rejoin Adams on the back end of the Jets defense, he’s patiently waiting for his chance and controlling what he can control (via team reporter Olivia Landis):

[I’m] taking it slow. It’s tough because obviously I hate watching. Just being out there and getting those reps is definitely a big thing for me, but I’m doing everything that I can do and just learning from there.
