Injured New York Jets Brad Smith and Drew Coleman are expected to be ‘game-time decisions’ for Sunday’s AFC divisional round playoff game against the New England Patriots.
Smith is the Jets primary kick returners and plays quarterback in the Wildcat package. Antonio Cromartie will return kickoffs if Smith is unable to. He suffered a groin injury last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Coleman is the Jets nickel cornerback. He injured a knee during practice on Thursday, and reportedly did not practice on Friday. Rookie Kyle Wilson is next on the depth chart if Coleman is unable to play.
Coleman, Smith and safety James Ihedigbo (knee, ankle) are all listed as questionable for the Jets.
For New England, defensive end Myron Pryor (back) is listed as doubtful. Linebacker Tully Banta-Cain (groin), wide receiver Deion Branch (knee), defensive end Jermaine Cunningham (calf), tight end Aaron Hernandez (hip), defensive end Eric Moore (hamstring) and tackle Sebastian Vollmer (shin) are all listed as questionable.
