What happened: Minkah Fitzpatrick has been ruled out for the Jets' game against the Packers with a groin injury, and New York carries another linebacker as questionable after two limited practices. The Jets will also be without Omar Cooper, Joseph Ossai and Kene Nwangwu. D'Angelo Ponds is cleared to make his NFL debut after missing Week 1 with a calf injury.

Why it matters: The absences hit both the secondary and front seven as the Jets try to open 2-0 for the first time since 2015. Fitzpatrick's scratch puts more pressure on the back end, while D'Angelo Ponds steps into his first game action against Green Bay.

What to watch: Friday's final inactive list will settle the Jets' remaining defensive question before kickoff. The secondary rotation against Green Bay is the main spot to watch with Fitzpatrick unavailable and Ponds now available.
