Jets Host Browns in Week 10 Test of New‑Look Roster
New York unveils a reworked defense after deadline deals that moved Sauce Gardner plus Quinnen Williams.
Overview
- The matchup kicks off at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium between the Jets (1-7) and the Browns (2-6).
- Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to name a starter, though reporting indicates it would be surprising if Justin Fields does not start at quarterback.
- New York’s defensive reset includes rookie Kiko Mauigoa replacing benched linebacker Quincy Williams, Azareye'h Thomas stepping in at boundary corner, and Will McDonald IV with Jermaine Johnson fronting the pass rush.
- The Jets’ deadline moves brought a haul of future picks (multiple firsts and seconds in 2026 and 2027) plus additions Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie III and Mazi Smith, with usage this week left unspecified by coaches.
- Cleveland leans on an elite defense led by Myles Garrett, fresh off a five-sack game, with rookie QB Dillon Gabriel starting and RB Quinshon Judkins emerging as the primary threat in a key trench test for rookie LT Olu Fashanu.
