Rontez Miles Out Sunday: Jets vs. Bills Injury Report

Jets safety Rontez Miles spoke yesterday about receiving eye surgery. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed today that the safety will miss the Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills.

On if Miles is out for Sunday…

He’s out.

Bowles did not rule him out of next week’s game against Oakland, however.

On if he expects Miles to be able to play in Week Two…

Too early to tell.

With a pair of rookie safeties starting, a number three guy with experience in the system like Miles takes on some degree of importance. His absence might not be the difference between victory and defeat, but he could potentially be a big help to this team as the young guys transition to the pros.

The full injury report for Sunday’s game is below.
