The good news is, as with Leonard Williams’ sore hip, the Jets don’t believe wide receiver Quincy Enunwa’s tweaked groin is serious.
The bad news, however, is the day after Williams missed practice, Enunwa was unable to finish Tuesday’s workout, hurting his groin after beating cornerback Trumaine Johnson on a go-route in one-on-one drills.
Enunwa tried to continue, but the Jets took the conservative approach. They’re doing the same with Williams, who wasn’t out there for a second straight day, replaced in team drills by rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.
“I think we’re [taking precautions] with him right now,” coach Adam Gase said. “It’s just we don’t want to take any chances letting him go out there and hurt himself even more. He was doing some stuff in the AlterG inside. I think he’ll be all right next week.”
Gase had no news to report on the status of safety Marcus Maye, who remains on the physically unable to perform list. The coach said he doesn’t know when Maye will be ready to come off of it as he recovers from shoulder surgery that limited him to six games a year ago. Gase said a nerve issue is factoring into the delay.
“We’d like to get him back before the season starts, get him out there and make sure everything’s good to go,” he said. “That’s really the thing, we’re trying to buy ourselves as much time as possible and once he gets out there, we want him to be able to stay out there, and that’s why we’re just listening to the doctors.”
One of the reasons the Jets acquired offensive guard Alex Lewis from the Ravens on Monday is his versatility.
“He can play multiple positions,” Gase said. “We have guys in our building that have seen him practice day in and day out, so that’s helpful for us, and the fact that we feel like we got a guy that can play more than one spot and has actually played in real games, that’s big for us.”
To make room on the roster for Lewis, the Jets cut tight end Nick Truesdell.
Kelechi Osemele said he isn’t planning to watch his former team, the Raiders, on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” But that’s not because he has no interest in how his former teammates are doing.
“I don’t have a television,” he said. “I don’t have time.”
Osemele prefers to travel in his free time. He hasn’t had a television for a few years.
“If I want to watch something, I get a friend’s iPad and log onto their Netflix or something,” he said.
