Jets Injury Report: Zaire Barnes Added With Ankle Issue

New York Jets cornerback Zaire Barnes has been added to the injury report with an ankle issue.

Barnes was not listed on the injury report on Wednesday, but he was added on Thursday with an ankle injury. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but it is worth noting that Barnes has been dealing with an ankle injury for much of the season.

Barnes has started 10 games for the Jets this season and has recorded 48 tackles, two interceptions, and eight pass breakups.

He is a key member of the Jets' secondary, and his absence would be a significant blow to the team's defense. The Jets are already without cornerback Bryce Hall, who is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. If Barnes is unable to play, the Jets will likely be forced to start rookie cornerback Brandin Echols in his place.

The Jets are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and Barnes' status for the game is currently up in the air.

The Jets are hoping that Barnes will be able to play, but they will not rush him back if he is not fully healthy. The Jets are currently 7-7 and are in the thick of the playoff race. A win against the Eagles would be a big step towards securing a playoff berth.
