Cisco's Time to Shine: Injured Fitzpatrick Opens Door for Young Safety
Andre Cisco is poised to benefit from Minkah Fitzpatrick's injury as he steps up to fill the veteran safety's spot in the Jets' secondary. With Fitzpatrick expected to miss 2-3 weeks, Cisco will likely start alongside Dane Belton against the Packers this weekend.
Cisco was a disappointment last season after missing nearly half of his first year with the Jets due to injury. He was outperformed by Belton and lost his starter status to him. However, it's not too late for Cisco to turn things around and prove himself to the Jets.
Playing against two high-powered offenses in the next three games, including back-to-back road tilts with the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, will be a crucial test for Cisco. If he can handle the challenge and make key plays, it could convince the Jets to extend his stay beyond this season.
