From a soccer perspective it makes little sense, 'pre-season friendlies' are there to get players up to match fitness, but then I say this every pre-season lol
Lawson out ...yikes But as Todd Bowles would say "next man up"...sigh Seriously like NC and others have said we need to stay clear of injuries from meaningless games OTOH Lawson may be a big loss but at least the Jets D is our strongest unit..how will Saleh compensate?
We are 2.5 point favorites against the Packers. lol https://www.yahoo.com/sports/jets-favored-preseason-week-2-143633859.html
The Jets will be facing their 3rd string QB and not much more. Might as well be playing an XFL team for most of the game.
From what I've been reading, that might be the best of all possible outcomes as the Jets aren't ready to face the 1st stringers of a 13-3 team just yet.
