If the Jets want to get their first win of 2025 in Cincinnati against the Bengals,

some positive news from the injury report would be a big boost.

Locked-on Jets starts now.

Welcome, this is the Locked-on Jets podcast, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

It is Friday, October 24th, 2025, and I'm your host, John B, from gangreneation.com. Thanking you so much for making the show your first listener, first watch every day. 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. And today's episode is brought to you by Mazda. Like our players, we sweat every detail because when you make every move count, pulling off the unexpected is only the beginning. Stay tuned later for highlights in this week's moving the game forward. Mazda, move and be moved. While on today's show, we are previewing the week eight game between the New York Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday from Cincinnati, kickoff time scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern. The Jets are looking for their first win of the season. And when you are 0 and 7, you are leaning on the phrase any given Sunday. We'll talk about what that means for the New York Jets on today's show. The Jets are also going to need to continue their recent defensive surge. We'll talk about what they'll need to do on that side of the ball. But we're going to begin by talking about the injury report. And of course, injuries are a key component in the NFL. You want to stay healthy. They're not really a great excuse in most cases for your team losing. Every team suffers injuries. Football is a very physical game. But this week, I think the injury report has special significance for the New York Jets

because there are two key spots, maybe the most important player on offense and the most important

player on defense, where there's a lack of clarity on the injury report. Now, on the offensive

side of the ball, most of us have assumed that Tyrod Taylor started this game of quarterback for the New York Jets because Justin Fields has looked, frankly,

unplayable the last couple of weeks.

But Taylor is day-to-day with a knee injury.

He apparently took a big hit after taking over for Fields and last Sunday's loss

to the Carolina Panthers.

Aaron Glenn has not revealed the identity of the starting quarterback on Sunday.

And he said he does not want to give the Bengals an advantage.

And when he said that, you could hear the eyes rolling in the Jets fan base.

Because when coaches start getting super secretive about stuff

like this in a season where things aren't going well anyway in a season where you know you're not

really confident in either quarterback you ask why he's doing it. I actually will defend Glenn on this.

I think sometimes Glenn gets secretive in a way that doesn't really help the Jets. I remember

heading into week one before the Elijah Ver Vera Tucker injury made the point moot.

There was a bit of a question whether the Jets would start Josh Myers or Joe Tipman at center.
