New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson and cornerback Trumaine Johnson are listed as active for Week 1 vs. the Buffalo Bills.
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Adam Gase’s debut game as New York Jets head coach can be described as “relatively injury-free.”
Other than Avery Williamson’s season-long ACL nightmare, Gotham Green traveled through the month of August without serious health concerns. In fact, the only two up-in-the-air injury situations for the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills came out clean on the other side.
Wide receiver Robby Anderson and Trumaine Johnson are both active and ready to go on Sunday.

Anderson had been dealing with a calf while Johnson suffered through hamstring woes since the middle of August, sustaining the injury on an interception of Sam Darnold in camp.
Both officially listed as questionable heading into the opening contest of 2019, the two veterans will suit up.
The seven inactives on the 53-man roster are as follows:
- Bilal Powell, RB
- Bennett Jackson, CB
- John Franklin-Myers, DL
- Chuma Edoga, T
- Folorunso Fatukasi, DT
- Nathan Shepherd, DT
- Kyle Phillips, DL

It makes sense that four defensive linemen are inactive as the Jets went heavy at that position, ultimately keeping nine players. Leonard Williams, Quinnen Williams, Henry Anderson, Steve McLendon and Bronson Kaufusi will all dress.
The Jets look to get out to a quick start this season under a brand-new and promising regime. Kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium with the AFC East divisional foes, the Buffalo Bills, attempting to get off quick themselves.
