Jets' Malachi Moore: Records three tackles Saturday
Rotowire
Moore (oblique) logged three tackles (two solo) in the Jets' preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday.
Moore had suffered a strained oblique in practice earlier this month that led to him being sidelined but he's now healthy. The 23-year-old should serve as the team's backup free safety behind Andre Cisco once the regular season begins.
The Jets selected Moore in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 130th overall.
Moore is very experienced after playing five years at Alabama, starting three seasons (twice as captain), and new Jets coach Aaron Glenn likely has a better eye for defensive backs than most coaches. The challenge with Moore is that he has the frame (5-foot-11, 196 pounds) and skill set of a cornerback, yet his speed fits better at safety. Playing Moore at slot corner would be one way to hide his speed deficiency while still potentially capitalizing on his standout football instincts.
