The New York Jets are set to shake up their special-teams unit in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, with changes driven both by injuries and by the team’s own roster decisions.
The Jets released punt returner Xavier Gipson on Wednesday after his fumbles in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers proved to be costly. However, Gipson isn't the only change the Jets will be making to their return game.
Former All-Pro kick returner Kene Nwangwu suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game and has been ruled out for Week 2. As a result, the Jets have been left scrambling in search of solutions at both positions.
