Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick out for home opener vs Packers
Coach Aaron Glenn ruled the safety out on 2026-09-18 with a groin injury; rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds may debut in the same game.
By Kofi "Highlight" Boateng · 7wThe New York Jets will be without safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for their home opener against the Green Bay Packers on 2026-09-20.
Head coach Aaron Glenn announced on 2026-09-18 that Fitzpatrick is out with a groin injury he picked up in the season opener at Tennessee.
That opens a spot in the Jets secondary. Rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds may make his NFL debut in the same game, per an Athlon Sports report on 2026-09-18.
The read here: a thinned-out Jets secondary carries the pressure against the Packers, and that could be exactly the opening Ponds needs.
