Just when it seems like the schedule is getting a bit easier for the Jets, they suffer the one

injury they can't afford to have.

Beating the Carolina Panthers on Sunday will be a tall task for this team.

Let's come up with the winning formula today on Locked-on Jets. You are Locked-on Jets, your daily New York Jets podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network,

Welcome, this is the Locked-on Jets podcast, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. It's Friday, October 17th, 2025. And I'm your host, John B, from gangreneation.com. Thank you so much for making the show your first listener, first watch every day. And a big shout out to you every dayers. This is a daily podcast covering the New York Jets with new episodes each day through the week, Monday through Friday.
