Jets head coach Robert Saleh said after Monday’s preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons that the starters would play Sunday against the New York Giants after only a handful of starters played against the Falcons.
We got a bit more information about that during Saleh’s press conference after Wednesday’s practice. Regarding how long the starters will play Sunday, Saleh told reporters, “I haven’t decided on the timeline yet, but it’s going to be anywhere between a quarter and a half.”
And when asked about defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, Saleh said “everyone’s playing.” That should also include offensive tackle Duane Brown, who took part in team drills for the first time since joining the Jets.
The Jets are going to treat Thursday’s joint practice and Sunday’s preseason game with the Giants as their regular-season dress rehearsal. The Jets then will have two weeks to prepare for their Week 1 opponent, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
