Quick Summary

The New York Jets will play against the Las Vegas Raiders at MetLife Stadium without key players David Bailey and Breece Hall due to injuries. Rookie defensive end David Bailey, who leads the team with 5½ sacks this season but is sidelined with a strained groin, and running back Breece Hall, out since Week 3 with a quadriceps injury, will not participate. Additionally, rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza of the Raiders, the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is unlikely to play as veteran Kirk Cousins remains the starter. The Jets' defense has struggled, allowing an average of 127.7 rushing yards per game for the season and 153 yards since Week 3, ranking them near the bottom of the league.

Story summary

As of November 1, 2026, David Bailey, the Jets' second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a strained groin injury. Additionally, running back Breece Hall remains out with a quadriceps injury, making it his fifth consecutive missed game. This means that neither Bailey nor the Raiders' first overall draft pick, rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, will play in this matchup at MetLife Stadium. Bailey had been leading the Jets with 5½ sacks and nine quarterback hits before getting injured. Hall, who averaged 3.2 yards per carry in the three games he played this season, has been out since Week 3 against the Lions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
