The Jets welcome back some depth at cornerback on Sunday, as Darryl Roberts is returning to the field following a three-game absence due to a calf injury.
While Roberts was injured, Arthur Maulet and Bless Austin stepped up as a solid cornerback duo, meaning Roberts is unlikely to assume a starting spot upon his return. Regardless, the veteran will have the chance to make some plays whenever defensive coordinator Gregg Williams deems it necessary to put him on the field.
As one injured Jet returns, another is forced to sit out. Chuma Edoga will miss Sunday’s game due to a knee injury suffered against the Raiders last weekend.
Prior to the injury, Edoga had turned the corner at right tackle after a rough start to his career. Brandon Shell will assume his spot in the starting lineup until he can return.
As for the Bengals, they’re still without star wideout A.J. Green. Quarterback Ryan Finley is active despite his benching and will serve as Andy Dalton’s backup in Week 13.
