Cotchery Could Miss Game At Miami

This may explain the Jets motive to trade for Braylon Edwards.

Other than the obvious fact that Edwards will allow the Jets to open up their playbook, he may be the only receiver on the field for the Jets when they take the field on Monday night in Miami.

Jerricho Cotchery may miss the game on Monday due to a hamstring injury that held him out of practice Friday afternoon. Coach Rex Ryan said that there is a possibility that Cotchery could miss this week's game.

Cotchery has 23 receptions for 356 yards and a touchdown; without him, the Jets will not get the opportunity to see how their top two receivers help open up the offense. Without Cotchery, Edwards will attract a lot more double, even triple, coverage played.

Cotchery's injury will also hamper the running game, which has been stopped this year, because of the Jets lack of a lethal passing attack. Story.
