D.J. Reed News
New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 5 contest on the road against the Denver Broncos. Reed was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol this week, so he'll look to do so next week ahead of the Week 6 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Defensive back Brandin Echols (hamstring) has also been ruled out, so New York's secondary is going to be a bit vulnerable against an improved Broncos passing attack. The 26-year-old Reed has 28 tackles (22 solo) in the first four games of the 2023 season for Gang Green in his second year with the team.
New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed believes that this year's iteration of their defense can be the best in the league and one of the best in NFL history. Reed said, "I think we have the potential to be the best defense in the NFL. Honestly, I think we can be historical, not just the best defense in the league..." He proceeded to say that he thinks the Jets' defense can be on the level of the 1985-'86 Chicago Bears and the "Legion of Boom" Seahawks squad. This offseason has provided the most hype for the Jets since the earlier days of Rex Ryan's tenure with Darrelle Revis as the headliner on defense. The defense/special teams unit is currently ranked in the top five in the league for fantasy projections, but they also have one of the toughest schedules this year.
New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed has been really impressed with rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner early on. Gardner, who was the No. 4 overall pick, didn't give up a single touchdown out of his 1,000-plus career coverage snaps and only allowed 13 catches for 117 yards last year at Cincinnati. "I love him man. I watched his tape and he's everything that the media is saying he is, he's a lockdown cornerback," Reed said. "He did it in college, and I believe he can do it at the NFL. He's prototypical, he has elite characteristics, and he plays with great eye discipline. He can catch, too. He makes great plays on the ball and it's just an overall complete cornerback in my opinion. I'm looking forward to balling with him."
