The Jets could be without safety Marcus Maye when they open the season Sunday against the Bills.
Maye did not practice Thursday because of an ankle injury. Maye already was dealing with a calf issue that kept him out of practice all of last week, and limited him on Wednesday. The ankle injury is new and not a good sign.
The Jets are banking on Maye to be a leader on defense. Since Jamal Adams was traded, the Jets were expanding Maye’s responsibilities.
