The New York Jets are in a precarious spot as they sport a 2-3 record but are still in the AFC East race.
The division hasn’t been as competitive as some thought it would be, and in the Jets’ case, their struggles can be attributed to poor offensive-play design and injuries to some key defensive players.
For example, they have been without star linebacker C.J. Mosley for the past three games because of a toe injury.
With a Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills looming, Mosley returned to the practice field in a limited fashion and is being designated as questionable to play.
However, new Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich is holding out hope that the veteran will be able to go against the Bills.
“CJ Mosley had a good week, Jeff Ulbrich said they’re hopeful he’ll play,” Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic wrote on X.
Michael Carter II will not play this week.

Getting Mosley back would be a huge boost for the New York defense, especially as it tries to contain Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.
Teams usually have a little extra motivation following the firing of a head coach, and Ulbrich is already receiving praise for the job he’s done since taking over for Robert Saleh.
This is an important AFC East game, as the winner would climb to the top of the standings in the division, so it’ll be interesting to see if Ulbrich can pick up his first victory.
