Elijah Moore Working On Side Field Thursday
3 years agoNew York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is working on a side field with trainers on Thursday. However, the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's unlikely that Moore will come off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday after not practicing for a month. The 21-year-old was turning into a star before his injury, catching 28 of 45 targets for 392 yards and five touchdowns in five games from Weeks 9 to 13. His long-term future is extremely bright, and he'll no doubt be highly coveted in fantasy drafts this fall, but there's a good chance he'll end his rookie season with a 43-538-5 line in 11 games played. Jamison Crowder appears to be trending towards a return this weekend, so he and Braxton Berrios might be the Jets top two receivers against Buffalo.
