The New York Jets announced Saturday that cornerback Sauce Gardner will miss Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a concussion.
New York Jets fans were caught by surprise Saturday afternoon when the team announced it would be without arguably its best player. Cornerback Sauce Gardner popped up in the injury report Friday with an undisclosed illness. On Saturday, the team said he will miss the game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a concussion. The Jets were already without D.J. Reed, who starts opposite Gardner in the secondary.
Gardner, though, took to X, formerly Twitter, shortly after the Jets officially ruled him out, and it seemed like he was caught by surprise. 'I feel perfectly fine. That's the crazy part about it,' he posted. The NFL has taken more precautions with concussions in recent years, and perhaps even more so after Tua Tagovailoa's head injuries last year.
Gardner is the defending Defensive Rookie of the Year and became the first rookie cornerback since Ronnie Lott to be named a first-team All-Pro.
