A home loss to the only winless team left on the schedule, a linebacker to injured reserve, a sack leader who has not practiced all week and a trade deadline eleven days out. The Jets packed a season into seven days.
The Jets fell to 2–5 with a 28–25 home loss to Miami, placed linebacker Kiko Mauigoa on injured reserve, and go into Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders without having seen sack leader David Bailey practice once this week. More Jets analysis and reporting runs all week.
How did the Jets lose to a winless Miami team?
By spotting them three touchdowns. The Jets trailed 21–7 before mounting a comeback that ended one score short in a 28–25 loss at MetLife Stadium. They gained 377 net yards, a season high, and still lost to a team that had not won a game. It was a second straight loss and a second straight defeat to a division rival.
What does Aaron Glenn’s 5–19 record mean now?
It means the worst head-coaching start in recent franchise memory is now a matter of record rather than argument. Glenn fell to 5–19 with the Miami loss and is 0–8 against the AFC East since taking over in 2025. His five-year contract runs through 2029 at roughly $10 million a year, and national reporting this week suggested he is expected to finish the season.
Why is Kiko Mauigoa on injured reserve?
A quad injury. The Jets placed the linebacker on injured reserve after he missed both practices in Week 7 preparation; he does not appear on the Week 8 report at all. An in-season IR placement carries a four-game minimum before a player is eligible to return.
Are the Jets going to trade Garrett Wilson?
Nothing has been agreed, and the team has said nothing. What is on the record is that Wilson’s name has surfaced in trade reports as the November 10 deadline approaches, which is what happens to good players on 2–5 teams. Treat it as single-sourced reporting until the Jets or an acquiring club says otherwise.
Is David Bailey going to play against the Raiders?
The Jets have not said, and the signs are not encouraging. Bailey — the No. 2 overall pick, who leads the team with 5.5 sacks — did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday with a groin injury, per the Jets’ official Thursday injury report. Edge rusher Joseph Ossai (ankle) and defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat (knee) also sat out both days. No game designations had been issued at the time of writing. Bailey’s season to date sits on his player page.
What did Braelon Allen and Omar Cooper Jr. do this week?
They produced the two genuinely encouraging statistical lines of the season. Allen has 13 runs of 10 or more yards across the last three games — since 2000, only Curtis Martin has matched that for this franchise — and his 14 double-digit runs during a four-game starting stretch led every NFL back from Weeks 4 through 7. Cooper caught balls of 52 and 60 yards against Miami, only the second time in 27 seasons a Jet has had two 50-plus-yard catches in one game, per the team’s official stats notes.
Who are the Jets playing on Sunday?
The Las Vegas Raiders, 3–4 and losers of four straight, at 1:00 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium on FOX. Kirk Cousins remains the starter over rookie Fernando Mendoza, Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker lead a passing game that averages 26.1 points a week, and the Raiders have not rushed for 100 yards since Week 3. Our full Jets vs. Raiders Week 8 preview breaks down the matchup and the injury report.
What to watch next week
Friday’s injury report and whether Bailey, Ossai and Sweat get designations. Then Sunday itself: the Jets have not beaten anyone since Week 5, and a home game against a team on a four-game slide is the softest remaining test on the schedule before Kansas City. After that comes the November 10 deadline at 4:00 p.m. ET, which will tell you whether this front office is treating 2–5 as a bad start or as a verdict.
What is the Jets’ record after Week 7?
The Jets are 2–5 after losing 28–25 at home to the Miami Dolphins on October 25.
Who did the Jets place on injured reserve this week?
Linebacker Kiko Mauigoa, with a quad injury. Placing him on injured reserve means he must miss at least four games.
Is David Bailey playing against the Raiders?
Bailey (groin) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. The Jets had not issued a game designation at the time of writing.
When is the 2026 NFL trade deadline?
Tuesday, November 10, at 4:00 p.m. ET. Trades must be submitted to the league office by then.
When do the Jets play the Raiders?
Sunday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium, on FOX.
What is Aaron Glenn’s record as Jets head coach?
