Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty, battling a 3.1‑yard average and just one touchdown this season, vows to revitalize the run game against the New York Jets on Sunday. Despite the Raiders ranking 31st in rushing (74.7 yards per game), Jeanty claims a few Jets defenders “don’t want to tackle,” though he won’t name them. He urges the team to stay united as they chase a win to end a four‑game skid. Jets defensive coordinator Brian Duker fires back, expressing confidence in his unit. The matchup pits a struggling Raiders ground attack against a Jets defense that recently allowed 103 rushing yards to Miami.

Former Bears Pro Bowler Nahshon Wright, a 2025 first‑year All‑Pro with 11 passes defensed and five interceptions, sees his role evaporate after signing a one‑year, $3.5 million deal with the New York Jets. In three games he records only one tackle and is often listed inactive, despite New York’s solid fifth‑ranked pass defense (187.7 yds/game). Frustrated, Wright told ESPN he’s “definitely frustrated” and has hinted at a trade, though none is formal. With the Jets at 2‑5 and a looming trade deadline, a move seems likely—potentially back to a Bears defense that now needs help after Jaylon Johnson’s struggles. The article details Wright’s plight and possible destination.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, the 2025 sixth‑overall pick, admits the New York Jets’ defense has a tackling issue as his team prepares to face them on Oct. 25. Despite the Raiders climbing from 32nd to 7th in scoring, Jeanty’s rushing has dipped to 3.1 yards per carry (328 yards, 1 TD on 106 carries) while his receiving shines with 312 yards and three TDs on 34 catches. He hopes the Jets’ missed tackles will revive his ground game, which has stalled after a 102‑yard debut and only 226 yards over the next six games. The article also notes his comments could hint at a broader defensive weakness for the Jets.
Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak warns that the Week 8 road game at the New York Jets is a make‑or‑break moment for the AFC playoff hopes. After a 3‑0 start, the Raiders have slipped to 3‑4, while the Jets sit at 2‑5. A win keeps the Raiders in the tight nine‑team race for seven playoff spots; a loss drops them to 3‑5 and could trigger trade moves before the Nov. 10 deadline. Kubiak emphasizes the importance of staying error‑free against a struggling opponent before facing a tough three‑game stretch versus the 49ers, Seahawks and Broncos.

As the NFL trade deadline looms on Nov. 10, Jets star wide receiver Garrett Wilson makes it clear he isn’t asking for a trade despite the team’s 2‑5 start. Wilson, the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year and New York’s leading receiver this season (37 catches, 444 yards, 3 TDs), said he loves the Jets but loves winning more. Rumors link him to contenders like the 49ers, yet he insists he wants to stay and help the Jets break their 24‑51 record since his 2022 arrival. His frustration after a 28‑25 loss to Miami highlights the urgency for a winning spark.
After a disappointing 2026 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson publicly denied trade rumors, saying he wants to stay and help the team win. Wilson, a three‑time 1,000‑yard receiver, expressed frustration with his limited target share but affirmed his commitment to New York. The Jets, which traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams last season, consider Wilson untouchable and vital for the future quarterback they plan to draft. His patience may wear thin if the Jets don’t improve soon.

Jets cornerback Nahshon Wright, 28, is reportedly eager for a trade back to the Chicago Bears, according to a source cited by Brendan Sugrue of the Bears Wire. Frustrated with his limited role — zero defensive snaps and only 22 special‑teams plays in three games — Wright has voiced his discontent without filing a formal request. The Bears, dealing with injuries to Tyrique Stevenson and Malik Muhammad, could use depth in the secondary. Wright, a former 2021 third‑round pick of the Cowboys, is in the final year of a $4.8 million, four‑year contract after stints with the Vikings and a practice‑squad year, and has logged just one tackle for the Jets this season.
