Jets Change Lineup to Make Up for Loss

New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards announced Wednesday that 10-year veteran offensive lineman Pete Kendall would move from his familiar left guard spot to center. This results from losing ProBowl center Kevin Mawae who is out for the season with a torn tricep. Jonathan Goodwin, the Jets’ fifth-round selection in the 2002 NFL Draft, would fill Kendall’s vacated guard spot. The New York Jets will show this new lineup to the Alanta Falcons next week.

As for other injuries the Jets have this season:

Cornerback Ty Law is questionable with lower back spasms, and backup safety Oliver Celestin is questionable with a left knee injury. There was one bit of good news: linebacker Eric Barton should play after missing the last three games with a sprained ankle.
