The Jets backups at safety are Andre Cisco and Malachi Moore , while Isaiah Williams is expected to be the Jets' third receiver with Cooper out and a returner with Nwangwu out.
Glenn did confirm that edge rusher Will McDonald IV and rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds will be good to go for Sunday. McDonald popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury on Thursday, while Ponds missed Week 1 due to a calf injury. A second-round pick out of Indiana, Ponds is set to make his NFL debut against the Packers.
