Jets WR Elijah Moore injured his quad in Thursday's practice. He was able to get off the field under his own power but is headed for an MRI, HC Robert Saleh said. We'll pass along an update when we get one.
Jets WR Elijah Moore has been "unstoppable" through the first week of camp, according to The New York Daily News' DJ Bien-Aime. The rookie has been playing both outside and in the slot. "At this rate, there’s no way the Jets can keep him out of the starting lineup as he has done nothing but create big plays," Bien-Aime adds. It's a continuation of what was reportedly a dominant spring from Moore. We'll see exactly how New York's WR corps shakes out (Corey Davis is the only guy with a starting spot locked up), but Moore is certainly worth a shot at his 13th-round ADP.
Jets WR Denzel Mims was working with the 3rd-team offense in Friday's practice, according to multiple reports. So in case you were still wondering whether the spring reports that he wasn't in line to start this season were true, here you go. As of now, it looks like Corey Davis and Keelan Cole will be the Jets' outside receivers, with Jamison Crowder and rookie Elijah Moore battling for the slot job. Mims isn't rosterable in redraft leagues.
Jets HC Robert Saleh believes WR Elijah Moore is capable of playing all 3 receiver spots in the offense. “He’s a dynamic young man,” Saleh said. “One of the things that’s really been great for him, not that it’s been a surprise, but to see it actually happen, what makes those guys difficult to defend is he can line up as the Z, F or X (receiver). He can line up wherever you want, and he’s going to execute it at a very high level.” It's an important note because it means that Moore doesn't need the Jets to get rid of slot receiver Jamison Crowder in order to land an every-down role. Of course, if Moore keeps playing like he did in OTAs and minicamp, the Jets won't be able to keep him off the field.
Jets WR Elijah Moore has been "undeniably the most impressive" player at OTAs, The Athletic's Connor Hughes writes. These, of course, are padless practices. And the Jets are missing a bunch of guys, including WRs Corey Davis, Denzel Mims and Jamison Crowder. But that's allowed Moore to soak up 1st-team reps with fellow rookie Zach Wilson. And Moore is reportedly looking every bit like the explosive player he was at Ole Miss.
