David Bailey\u2019s promising rookie season could face a setback.<\/p>\n

He is dealing with a groin injury and did not practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Bailey finished the Jets\u2019 28-25 loss<\/a> to the Dolphins on Sunday but felt \u201clingering\u201d discomfort on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see [him] as seeing how the week goes,\u201d head coach Aaron Glenn said about Bailey\u2019s status for the Jets\u2019 Week 8 game against the Raiders on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n

Bailey, whom the Jets drafted with the No. 2-overall pick, has been a rare bright spot<\/a> in another otherwise dreary season. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s recorded 5 \u00bd sacks, nine quarterback hits, three forced fumbles and seven tackles for loss across his first seven games in the NFL. He broke out with three sacks during the team\u2019s Week 5 win over the Browns, earning him a Rookie of the Week honor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of larger injury uncertainty on the defensive line.<\/p>\n

T\u2019Vondre Sweat (knee) also did not practice on Wednesday. Neither did Joseph Ossai, who missed the last two weeks with an ankle injury. Both Sweat and Ossai are considered week-to-week, Glenn said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Bailey\u2019s promising rookie season could face a setback.
