One of the Jets’ strengths – their secondary – could be a weakness Sunday in Denver.

Coach Robert Saleh ruled out cornerbacks DJ Reed and Brandin Nichols on Friday, likely leaving the No. 2 corner spot to seldom-used backup Bryce Hall. 

Saleh had been optimistic that Reed (concussion) would be able to play against the Broncos, but he has yet to clear the protocol.

Saleh was noncommittal on the plan in the wake of the news, but it seems unlikely that slot cornerback Michael Carter II would move to the outside since he hasn’t played there in his short professional career. 

The Broncos have a strong receiving corps, led by Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, and are averaging 25 points per game, 10th-most in the NFL.

Hall has received just four defensive snaps all season, but he will almost certainly see his role expand significantly now.
