Three Jets starters miss practice

-

The New York Jets could be without a few starters in their season opener.

Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse, safety Marcus Maye and outside linebacker Josh Martin all sat out practice yesterday with injuries.

Kearse, Maye and Martin are all projected starters for the Jets, who open their season Monday night at Detroit. The team has two more days of full practices.

Kearse is dealing with an abdominal injury, which sidelined him for the last two preseason games. Maye has a foot injury that coach Todd Bowles said is sore, but wouldn’t provide details. Martin suffered a concussion in the Jets’ third preseason game against the Giants.

Recently signed Jeremiah Attaochu is listed on the depth chart as Martin’s backup, but he was limited at practice with a calf injury. Also limited was starting inside linebacker Avery Williamson, who’s dealing with a hamstring issue.

Dolphins lose one

Miami Dolphins starting tight end MarQueis Gray has been placed on injured reserve after tearing his Achilles tendon, and the team says he’ll miss the entire season.

Gray’s injury likely means a bigger role for rookie tight end Mike Gesicki, a secondroun­d pick . . . .

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa did not practice, leaving his status for the opener against Kansas City in doubt. Coach Anthony Lynn did not sound optimistic about Bosa’s status, but said it’s possible he could still play.

If Bosa can’t play, the Chargers would be without two starters on the defensive line, as tackle Corey Liuget is serving a four-game suspension.

Kendricks pleads

Former Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider trading charges, and faces up to 25 years in prison.

Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 18.

The Browns released him from the team on Aug. 29, after the charges were filed.
