As if things weren’t going poorly enough for the Jets, some more bad news was revealed today by head coach Aaron Glenn. Rookie edge rusher David Bailey landed on the injury report with defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat.
Jets injury report: The players to watch this week are Breece Hall and David Bailey. Hall has practiced three straight days, starting last Thursday, but he hasn’t been full. Bailey appears to be a day-to-day situation. #Jets https://t.co/imE2WYjqrw

Sweat was less of a surprise (along with running back Breece Hall) than David Bailey. The big DT left Sunday’s game with a knee injury and did not return. Meanwhile, Bailey reportedly showed up to the team facility on Monday and said his groin was bothering him.
Should either player miss time against the Raiders on Sunday, it would be a serious blow to Gang Green’s defense. Especially in the case of Bailey who is the team’s best pass rusher by a wide margin this season. Sweat is also a key piece, but rookie Darrell Jackson has filled in admirably when called upon this season.
Other key injuries include defensive end Joseph Ossai, guard Dylan Parham and running back Braelon Allen. Both Parham and Allen practiced on a limited basis which means they’ll likely go on Sunday. Ossai however, was held out of practice and continues to deal with the injury bug from the moment training camp started.
After missing almost all of training camp, Ossai missed the first several games of the season having played just eleven snaps in one pre-season game. Now six games into the season, Ossai has played only 107 snaps through three games.
