Jets trade for Jarvis Brownley from Tennessee to upgrade cornerback depth, a move that signals a shakeup at a position that’s struggled early. Brandon Stevens faces a benching risk as Brownley could slot in once healthy. The team also reshuffles at linebacker due to injuries, elevating rookie Maign Noah and adding Mark Robinson from New England for depth. Aaron Glenn cleanly restates the QB pecking order: Fields will start once cleared, with Tyrod Taylor as a short-term option.

Injury issues deepen the rookie development story: Quincy Williams lands on IR, opening minutes for Noah and other youngsters. The Jets are leaning into youth as they prepare for a Monday Night showdown with Miami, hoping the influx of reps accelerates growth and steadies the lineup down the stretch.
