Jets' Doug Middleton: Filling in with first-team defense
Middleton is getting reps with the first-team defense during OTAs, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
It sounds like Middleton is healthy after spending the final nine games of the 2018 season on injured reserve with a torn pectoral. He's only getting first-team reps due to the limitations of Marcus Maye (shoulder), but it's nonetheless a sign of Middleton's standing as a top depth option in advance of the 2019 campaign. The fourth-year safety racked up 27 tackles and three pass breakups in seven games with the Jets in 2018.
