This week’s final preseason game pits the New York Jets against the Atlanta Falcons. The vast majority of New York’s starters are expected to sit this game out, but Atlanta’s will see at least some action.
That means we’ll see Marcus Mariota, and likely Kyle Pitts, for the first drive or more. Wide receiver Drake London, though, remains out with the injury he suffered during the team’s first preseason contest. Once Mariota’s night is finished, third-round rookie Desmond Ridder will presumably get a good amount of burn. Ridder threw for two touchdowns in his first preseason action, but completed only 10 of 22 passes for 102 yards.
With Zach Wilson still out due to the injury he suffered during New York’s preseason opener and Joe Flacco reportedly not playing, it seems Mike White and Chris Streveler will see the most action against the Falcons. It’s unlikely that we’ll see much of Breece Hall, Michael Carter, Elijah Moore, or Garrett Wilson, but there should be some interesting down-roster candidates getting some playing time on both sides of the ball.
Stay with us throughout the evening as we live blog the festivities, featuring stats, scores, highlights, and more.
