After the bye week, both cornerbacks returned to full training two days ago. Hence, the organization (3-3) is very positive that they will start in the upcoming game against the Giants (2-5) at MetLife Stadium. The franchise is looking for their 3^rd consecutive victory.

“It gives you flexibility on the defense and allows you to be — not more creative, but give you a chance to do a couple of things that otherwise you will not do with these 2 cornerbacks on the field,” manager Robert Saleh shared with the media today.
