Rarely challenged in second season
Gardner finished 2023 with 57 tackles (41 solo) and 11 passes defensed.
Analysis: Gardner's box score stats were less impressive in his second season compared to his rookie campaign -- when he led the league with 20 passes defensed -- but that was due primarily to a lack of opportunities, as opposing quarterbacks rarely challenged the standout cornerback. Gardner was a first-team All-Pro for the second time in as many years and is already the best cover corner in the NFL, though he'd like to add more interceptions to his ledger.

Ready for Week 8
Gardner cleared the concussion protocol Friday and is on track for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
Analysis: Gardner returned to practice as a full participant Wednesday, but it took him until Friday to officially clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Having the star cornerback on the field will bode well for the Jets' odds of shutting down whomever of Daniel Jones (neck) or Tyrod Taylor lines up under center for the Giants.

Practices, still in protocol
Gardner (concussion) logged a full practice session Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Although Gardner was able to practice fully, he has not officially cleared the league's protocols. However, he has had a bye week to recover, and his full participation indicates he is trending in the right direction. The remainder of the week will provide more clarity on the matter.

Still in concussion protocol
Gardner remains in concussion protocol Monday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Even after a Week 7 bye, Gardner apparently still has work to do before he can return from his concussion. The Jets' injury reports over the week will provide more insight regarding his potential availability for the Week 8 matchup against the Giants.

Ruled out Sunday
Gardner (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Analysis: Gardner didn't participate in Friday's practice and had been listed as questionable for Week 6, but the Jets' decision to downgrade him implies that he wasn't on track to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. With all of Gardner, D.J. Reed (concussion) and Brandin Echols (hamstring) and sidelined for Sunday, the Jets are likely to turn to Bryce Hall and Craig James as their starting outside cornerbacks, while Michael Carter mans the slot.

Questionable with illness
Gardner (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gardner was unable to practice Friday as a result of the illness. He'll look to recover in time to face Philadelphia, and with fellow starting cornerback D.J. Reed (concussion) ruled out, the Jets will have a hard time containing wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith if Gardner ends up sitting Sunday.

Playing Saturday
Gardner, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, is playing in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It marks the first time that Gardner has seen game action during the preseason. He'll likely get a light workload as the Jets look to avoid any unnecessary risk ahead of the regular season.

Returns to practice
Gardner (hamstring) will participate in individual drills Thursday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Gardner was sidelined Wednesday, as the team elected to be cautious with their star corner. Although he'll return to practice, the team will still take a lighter approach with him and relegate the 22-year-old to individual drills. Ultimately, there is little reason for the Jets to push him this early in camp with Week 1 still just under a month away.

Precautionary absence
Gardner (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gardner's absence is precautionary, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Considering the standout rookie season the 22-year-old had, including being named to the All-Pro team, it would make sense that the team would prefer the better-safe-than-sorry route. He'll likely return to practice in the days ahead, although it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Saturday's preseason contest against the Panthers.

Leads league in passes defensed
Gardner finished the 2022 season with 75 tackles (51 solo), two interceptions and a league-high 20 passes defensed.
Analysis: Gardner's addition played a key role in New York's historic improvement on defense compared to last season, as the Jets went from 29.6 points allowed per game to 18.6. There's a strong argument that the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was the best cover corner in the league as a rookie considering Gardner led the NFL in passes defensed despite teams rarely throwing his way. Many a prominent wide receiver was "lost in the Sauce" in 2022, and that's likely to remain a common theme for…read more

Ready for action Sunday
Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Gardner (calf) is playing Sunday against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gardner practiced in limited fashion on both Wednesday and Thursday this week while tending to a calf issue, but he was ultimately able to play every defensive snap versus the Patriots in Week 11 and expects to do it again this weekend versus Chicago. Across 10 games played this season, the 2022 fourth-overall draft pick has recorded 45 tackles, 14 passes defensed and two interceptions.

Grabs pick in big win
Gardner came away with one interception and seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Bills.
Analysis: Gardner logged the second interception of his rookie campaign, as he stole away a pass intended for Gabe Davis in the third quarter. The cornerback also finished as the Jets' leading tackler while logging at least seven stops for the second time this season. Gardner has now totaled 13 passes defended through the first nine games of his NFL career, and he's quickly making a case as one of the league's top cover corners. He will look to add to this total during the Jets' next contest versus New…read more

Picks off Allen in win
Gardner notched a team-high seven tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Gardner was burned for a 42-yard gain by Stefon Diggs on the game's first play, but the rookie cornerback got the last laugh. He intercepted Josh Allen in Buffalo territory in the third quarter and returned it 16 yards. Four plays later, the Jets punched in the go-ahead touchdown to take a 17-14 lead, and New York didn't trail the rest of the way. Gardner also had the coverage on Gabe Davis as Allen heaved up a desperation fourth-down deep ball in the final minute. The pass fell incomplete to…read more

Leading tackler in Week 7 win
Gardner had a team-high 10 tackles (nine solo) and three passes defensed in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Gardner locked down Courtland Sutton in man coverage for most of the afternoon, as Sutton finished the game with just three catches for 23 yards on nine targets. The most important of Gardner's pass breakups came on Denver's penultimate possession, as he denied a fourth-down pass to Sutton in the end zone. The rookie fourth overall pick set a new single-game career high in tackles as well, and Gardner has quickly blossomed into one of the league's premier players at his position.

Returns during win Sunday
Gardner (head) recorded three tackles and two passes defended during Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Gardner was evaluated for a head injury sustained while tackling wide receiver Amari Rodgers early in the fourth quarter, though he was later cleared and returned before the end of this contest. The rookie cornerback recorded two passes defended for the second time this season, though he did draw a pass interference penalty that was declined by Green Bay in favor of a separate unnecessary roughness penalty on safety Jordan Whitehead. Garner has now defended at least one pass in every game of…read more

Undergoing evaluation
Gardner exited Sunday's game against the Packers to be evaluated for a head injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gardner jogged to the locker room after a collision with one of Green Bay's wide receivers during the second half, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. With the Jets currently up 27-10 late in the fourth quarter, expect cornerback Michael Carter to likely finish out the remainder of this contest.

Wreaks havoc on Dolphins
Gardner had five tackles (three solo), an interception and a quarterback hit in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Gardner blitzed on Miami's first offensive play of the game and got home. Not only did his clean hit knock Teddy Bridgewater out of the game with a head injury, but it also drew an intentional grounding flag on Bridgewater, which resulted in a safety. The rookie cornerback was flagged for pass interference for the first time in his career while defending Tyreek Hill later in the first quarter, but Gardner made amends by picking off Bridgewater's replacement Skylar Thompson in the second quarter…read more

Will start Week 1
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Sunday that Gardner will start Week 1 against the Ravens, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Less than a week ago, Saleh said Gardner, a 2022 first-round pick, would have to earn the starting spot over incumbent starter Bryce Hall. And it appears like the rookie quickly earned the job, as he has been declared the starter two weeks before the season opener. By all accounts, the No. 4 overall pick has thrived during training camp and should have an advantageous matchup against Baltimore's receiving corps in Week 1.

Will have to earn starting role
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets are still deciding between Gardner and Bryce Hall at one of their starting cornerback spots, Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media reports.
Analysis: This is likely just coach speak to keep Hall happy after he served as New York's No. 1 cornerback last season. Hall's limitations were on full display in Monday's preseason game against Atlanta, as he was burned for a 52-yard gain by tight end Kyle Pitts and then beaten 1-on-1 for a touchdown by Olamide Zaccheaus. Meanwhile, Gardner has reportedly thrived in training camp after being selected fourth overall in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati, and the rookie didn't have any issues keeping…read more
