The original idea heading into Sunday’s Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers was that the New York Jets will be inexperienced at the cornerback position. Without Pierre Desir (released) and Brian Poole (injured reserve), youngsters such as Bryce Hall would see a ton of time.
Forget about the original idea. Now, to describe the team’s cornerback situation as “inexperienced” doesn’t suffice.
In a surprising move, the Jets have placed cornerback Bless Austin on injured reserve, per Ethan Greenberg of the team’s official website.
