Jets’ Injury Outlook: Perfetti Skating Ahead of Schedule, Lowry Nears Return, Samberg Timeline Unclear

Winnipeg’s depth has produced four straight wins, setting up difficult lineup decisions once injured regulars are cleared.

Overview

  • Head coach Scott Arniel said Cole Perfetti has resumed skating and is slightly ahead of schedule, with a target of mid-November for his return.
  • Adam Lowry has practiced in a non-contact jersey and is trending toward a late-October or early-November comeback, per Arniel.
  • Dylan Samberg’s broken wrist now carries a to-be-determined timeline after an initial six-to-eight-week estimate, with Arniel stressing the bone must heal properly.
  • The Jets have won four straight without the trio, and Arniel expects a “lot of bodies” to force tough roster choices when players are cleared.
  • Contract context: Lowry is slated for unrestricted free agency next summer, Perfetti is a pending restricted free agent, and Samberg is signed for three years at a $5.75 million AAV.
