It goes without saying that Sauce Gardner is arguably the most important player on the entire New York Jets roster. If the Jets want any chance of upsetting the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, they're likely going to need to have Gardner on the field.
Unfortunately, that reality isn't as certain now as it was a day ago. Gardner popped up on the Jets' injury report on Thursday as a limited participant due to a groin injury. He was notably a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
That would suggest Gardner’s groin injury either developed or flared up during Wednesday or Thursday’s practice, limiting his participation.
