⚑ NEEDS RULING

The Jets will not make the proposed bye-week changes of benching Dalvin Cook or Randall Cobb or reducing C.J. Uzomah role.

First call: Oct 16, 2023, 9:55 PM ET · Deadline: Oct 29, 2023, 1:00 PM ET · Historical archive

THE ORIGINAL TAKE
“None are going anywhere and their roles will stay exactly the same.”
OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗

What we’re scoring

Full thread opening explicitly recommends using the bye week to bench Cook and Cobb and play Ruckert more than Uzomah. An injury absence does not prove the proposed merit-based benching. A later healthy scratch cannot automatically extend this immediate bye-week denial across the full season. Retain needs ruling for timing and role-change causality.

The ruling

Cobb missed the first post-bye Giants game with a shoulder injury. He was again inactive in the following Chargers game despite full practice and no game designation. That second absence does not establish when the proposed bye-week coaching decision occurred.
