The Jets are not expected to field most of their starters in their Week 3 preseason game against the Eagles on Friday. New York coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that only "some" starters will play in the preseason finale.

"Some starters won't play in this game," Glenn said on Tuesday. "I won't get into the who's, or what not, but a good amount of starters won't play. This gives us a chance to look at some of our young guys and give them plenty of playing time so we can evaluate them."

The Jets began their preseason with a 30-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. They then lost 31-12 against the New York Giants in their second preseason game.

Meanwhile, the Eagles have not confirmed whether or not they will field their starters against the Jets for their final preseason game before the regular season. However, Philly might opt against using its starters to face New York to avoid injuries to key players.
