Cornerback Drew Coleman isn’t a big name, but he was essentially lining up as a starter before hurting his knee in practice Thursday. The Jets will have their nickel package on the field most plays and Coleman is their third cornerback.
The Jets list Coleman as questionable after he missed practice Friday. His absence could highlight rookie Kyle Wilson’s struggles this year. Coleman is being called a game-time decision, as is returner Brad Smith. The Jets say it’s possible Smith could play offense, but not handle returns. Safety James Ihedigbo (knee) is also questionable.
The Patriots look mostly healthy except defensive lineman Myron Pryor, who missed practice again. Tight end Aaron Hernandez confirmed he’s ready to go for the game.
