Roster News: Jets cut Jalin Marshall, activate Xavier Coleman

Here's a surprising roster move ahead of tomorrow's game:

Marshall hadn't played yet this season following his suspension after a promising rookie year and it seemed likely his return was perhaps going to block rookie ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen from opportunities to get reps. Stewart will presumable remain on kick-off return duties now, with Jeremy Kerley on punts.

When the Jets released Marcus Williams to make room for Marshall on the roster, it was assumed they had adequate cornerback depth and that Juston Burris and Darryl Roberts wouldn't miss any more time. That seems to be the case, since both practiced all week and are off the injury report.

However, it's possible the Jets are planning to use a lot of DB-heavy sets this week, especially with Muhammad Wilkerson questionable. They used some sets with seven defensive backs over the past few games and might perhaps need more cover or extra players to fill in on special teams if that's part of their gameplan tomorrow too.
