The Jets' offensive line will be further weakened as they face one of their toughest tests all season. The Steelers have three players with at least eight sacks. Brent Qvale is the most likely starter at right guard, but Conor McDermott or Leo Koloamatangi could also factor in.
Vyncint Smith should continue to get some decent playing time with Thomas out. However, Robby Anderson seems to be over his illness that caused him to miss practice yesterday. Braxton Berrios or Josh Malone could also feature.
Defensively, the Jets have several players returning this week. Players like Darryl Roberts, Nate Hairston and Maurice Canady could see a reduction in playing time as a result.
The Steelers also released their injury report which was completely blank.
