Impact Ponds strung together three consecutive limited practices during Week 1 prep, but he was not cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Titans this past Sunday.

Doubtful for regular-season opener Ponds (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact Toward the end of training camp, there was optimism that Ponds would make his NFL regular-season debut against Tennessee. The rookie second-rounder was a limited participant in all three practices this week, but the doubtful tag indicates that he's not quite ready to return from a calf injury that he sustained in late July. If Ponds is ruled out for Week 1, then the Jets would lose a special-teams coordinator and depth in the secondary behind starting corners Brandon Stephens, Jarvis Brownlee and Nahshon Wright.

On track for Week 1 Head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Ponds (calf) is on track to play against the Titans in Week 1, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact The rookie second-rounder missed all of training camp and did not play in any of the Jets' three preseason games due to a calf injury he sustained in late July. He is progressing in his recovery, and it appears Pond is trending toward making his NFL debut in Tennessee on Sunday, Sept. 13. The Indiana product will provide depth in the secondary behind Jarvis Brownlee, Brandon Stephens and Nahshon Wright (hip).
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
