Injury Woes Mount for Jets Ahead of Season Finale

The New York Jets are facing a significant challenge in their final game of the 2025 NFL season, as several key players have been ruled out due to injuries. Cornerbacks Mason Taylor and Qwan’tez Stiggers will not be available for the Week 18 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Taylor, who has struggled with hamstring issues throughout the season, will undergo surgery in the coming weeks, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the year. The Jets had high hopes for their young cornerback, but his injuries have limited his contributions to the team. Stiggers, on the other hand, has dealt with knee issues that have forced him to miss several games this season. His absence will be felt in the secondary, where the Jets are already thin due to other injuries and absences. The news of Taylor’s surgery adds another layer of complexity to the Jets’ injury situation. The team is already without several key players, including quarterback Justin Fields, who suffered a knee injury earlier this season. Defensive end Max Jenkins will also be out for the game, as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury that has kept him on the sidelines since Week 10. The Jets are already struggling to generate pass rush, and Jenkins’ absence will make it even more difficult for their defense to stop Josh Allen and the Bills’ high-powered offense. The Jets have one last chance to salvage what’s left of their season, but they’ll need to pull out all the stops to come from behind and take down the AFC East champions. Can Gang Green overcome their injuries and get back into contention?
