New York Jets star defensive back Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is expected to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Gardner missed last week's game against the Miami Dolphins due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 13 versus the Seattle Seahawks. Per Zack Rosenblatt, Gardner is good to go for Week 15, which will be a nice boost for the Jets' defense. With the Jets eliminated from the playoffs, Gardner feels close to 100%, as it seems unlikely New York would play him if he were not at full strength. Gardner will likely line up against the speedy Brian Thomas Jr. in his first game back in action. The Jaguars' passing attack has not been known to tear up opposing defenses, so the Jets' defense will be a top option for fantasy managers in Week 15. RotoBaller has the Jets DST as the No. 3 ranked fantasy defense in the latest Week 15 rankings.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins. This was widely expected after Gardner missed three consecutive practices and entered the weekend listed as doubtful. The talented defender has not previously missed a contest this season, registering 39 tackles, one sack, and zero interceptions through 12 contests. Brandin Echols should draw the start in his absence.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on the road on Sunday, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. Gardner injured his hamstring in the Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and will most likely be out this weekend, with his next chance to suit up coming in Week 15 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old two-time All-Pro is one of the league's better cornerbacks, although he hasn't really lived up to his high standards in 2024. Still, his expected absence on Sunday will be good news for Dolphins receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as the Dolphins look to bounce back from a Thanksgiving beatdown last Thursday by the Green Bay Packers. New York's disappointing defense shouldn't be considered a top-12 fantasy unit in Week 14.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (foot) seemingly injured his foot on Thursday night during the fourth quarter of their contest against the Houston Texans. The star defensive back was able to come back into the game, but Ian Rapoport says that his status is worth monitoring especially if the team decides to do some tests on Friday. There hasn't been any official word of an injury that will cause him to miss some time just yet.

New York Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner (head) was removed from the Week 5 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings in the second quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion. Gardner was taken to the locker room for evaluation and came back out onto the field. He has been on the sidelines with his helmet on but hasn't gone back into the game. The 24-year-old is most likely questionable to return. He injured himself while colliding with teammate Quincy Williams. If Gardner goes into the league's concussion protocol after this game, he'll be up in the air to face the division-rival Buffalo Bills in Week 6, although he'll also have extra time to recover. At this point with time winding down in the fourth quarter in London, it seems unlikely that Gardner will be allowed to return to the field. Before leaving, Gardner had just one tackle.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said it's a "possibility" that cornerback Sauce Gardner will travel with the opposing team's No. 1 wide receiver this year. It wouldn't be an exclusive setup, though, but it could happen more than it did last year. Gardner has quickly become of the better lock-down corners in the NFL after being taken with the fourth overall pick in 2022 out of Cincinnati. The 23-year-old was a first-team All-Pro in each of the last two years and was named Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. As such, opposing quarterbacks rarely chose to test him last year. He finished the 2023 campaign with 57 tackles (41 solo) and 11 passes defensed without an interception. Matching him up against more WR1s could give him more action in his third NFL season.
