FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Sam Darnold and the New York Jets are likely to be without their top two wide receivers when they play the Chiefs in Kansas City on Sunday.
Coach Adam Gase ruled out Breshad Perriman before practice Friday because the receiver remains in concussion protocol after his injury late in the Jets’ 18-10 loss to Buffalo last Sunday.
Jamison Crowder also appears unlikely to play with a groin injury that also kept him out last week. He was listed as doubtful for the game.
Perriman was injured late in the fourth quarter last week when he took a big hit from Bills safety Micah Hyde while trying to make a catch along the sideline. He appeared to briefly lose consciousness after the play, and Hyde was penalized for unnecessary roughness.
New York’s wide receiver corps was banged up throughout training camp and during the early part of the season.
The Chiefs host New York Sunday with an 11:00 pregame and kick at noon on 94.5 the X.
