Roster News: Tyron Smith to IR

The Jets have posted their pre-game roster moves ahead of Sunday:

This ensures that Olu Fashanu will start on Sunday and probably for the remainder of the season, if he stays healthy. Even if Smith gets healthy, it would be surprising to see him back in the line-up, if for no other reason that it will save the team a bunch of money.

It's good that Newman is healthy enough to return after that scary injury in Pittsburgh, but hopefully he'll be able to stay on the bench.

Nwangwu could give the Jets extra cover with Breece Hall less than 100 percent but it might also be time to give him a shot at getting involved in the return game. It's telling that he was elevated despite Israel Abanikanda being available and, as yet, unused on the 53-man roster.
