Jamison Crowder and Ashtyn Davis set to return for New York Jets
The New York Jets received some good news on the injury front this Friday.
Wide receiver Jamison Crowder is set to make his season debut on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to head coach Robert Saleh, who said Crowder’s chances are “looking good.”
Safety Ashtyn Davis is also set to return in his first week after coming off of injured reserve. Davis spent the year recovering from foot surgery that ended his 2020 rookie season.
The Jets have a hole at safety after losing Marcus Maye for the next 3-to-4 weeks with an ankle injury, but Davis is not expected to be rushed into action. Saleh says Davis will get playing time, although he cannot play a full game yet due to the extended amount of time he has been off the field.
S Ashtyn Davis will play Sunday and get some run, but Robert Saleh says he can't play a full game just yet because he hasn't played in a game since last December. But he's coming along and will have opportunities. #Jets

Adrian Colbert and Jarrod Wilson will likely hold down the two starting safety spots. Colbert has started the past two games in place of Lamarcus Joyner while Wilson received 21 snaps as the team’s third safety in Denver.
Safety Sharrod Neasman, who returned to practice alongside Davis this week, is also expected to be active.
