New York enters Week 4 missing nearly half of its offensive starters, raising questions about production efficiency.
The New York Jets travel to face the Chicago Bears for Week 4 severely depleted, as Sports Illustrated first reported. Most notably, running back Breece Hall has been placed on the inactive list. Sports Illustrated reports that New York will be without nearly half of its offensive starters on Sunday, a situation that includes the absence of left guard Dylan Parham, who has been a positive force on the offensive line early this season.
While the Jets' run game has struggled in recent weeks without Hall, Sports Illustrated notes that the Chicago front seven currently ranks 22nd in the league. New York is expected to rely on Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to find success on the ground.
Other key absences for the Jets include edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare, cornerback Nahshon Wright, linebacker Kiko Mauigoa, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, and tight end Mason Taylor. On the other side of the ball, the Bears will be without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, opting instead to start Tyson Bagent, and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo.
