Philadelphia Eagles preseason: 15 New York Jets to watch
13. Jachai Polite, linebacker
Jachai Polite was taken 68th overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft. He probably makes the roster, but he isn’t a starter. If he plays on Thursday, seeing the Eagles offense operate with him on the field could be an interesting watch.
14. Derrick Kindred, safety
Derrick Kindred was claimed off of waivers by the Jets a little over eight days ago. It’s a safe bet to say that Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye, Rontez Miles, and Doug Middleton will be the guys the Jets keep at safety. Kindred never seemed to have a real shot, but don’t expect him to play like he doesn’t if he’s given any time on Thursday.
15. Luke Falk, quarterback
The Jets could carry the usual three quarterbacks on the final 53-man roster, but in some Jet-centric circles, the theory is they may stick with two. If they do, Sam Darnold is obviously the starter. Trevor Siemian is the backup. One of the most obvious areas to watch on Thursday night will be the Jets’ signal-callers.
You’ll get a look at both Luke Falk and the aforementioned Davis Webb.
