A minor injury is a minor injury.

It's nothing to be worried over, but it can be a reminder of a unit that will play a big role in whether or not the Jets meet their expectations this year.

good. I don't think you're just hoping with them. I think there's a lot to be

optimistic about it. But if there's not a guarantee, and this line is really important, the offensive
