Exclusive | Jets getting C.J. Mosley back for critical MNF clash with rival Bills in huge boost

Jets linebacker and defensive captain C.J.Mosley, who missed the past three games with a toe injury, will return to the field to play against the Bills Monday night, The Post has learned.“Yeah, for sure,’’ Mosley told The Post after practice Saturday of his plan to play.

“He’s felt the best he’s felt in a while this week, so we’re hopeful.’’Asked about how much Mosley might play considering how well Sherwood has performed in his place, Ulbrich said, “They’ll all get an opportunity to play.C.J.
