Which Jets should you be watching?

And the preseason rolls out.

The Jets will travel to Detroit — their only true road game of August — to face the Lions on Saturday. Since this is their the second exhibition game, the starters figure to play a quarter, with some staying in for part of the second. Outside of that, though, backups will dominate the snap counts.

As is the case each week, the quarterbacks will be the center of attention. As was the case last week, coach Todd Bowles didn't name a starter heading into the game. Darryl Slater has more on that here. But if you care about positions other than quarterback, this report is for you.

Here are seven non-QBs, including rookies Marcus Maye and Jordan Leggett, to keep an eye on.

JULIAN STANFORD, linebacker

Don't Edit

Darron Lee and Demario Davis are the starters right now, but Stanford has been (arguably) more impressive than both in the training camp. He continued that strong play against the Titans in the Jets' preseason opener. He had a couple really nice plays against the run, and a bone-crushing sack on backup quarterback Alex Tanney.

If Stanford keeps this up, he could challenge for a top spot on the depth chart.

DEXTER MCDOUGLE, cornerback

Don't Edit

A third-round pick by ex-Jets GM John Idzik, Dexter McDougle has been a bit of a disappointment. He doesn't have an interception in three years, and is currently on the roster bubble. McDougle has had moments in camp, but needs to show it in a game. He'll have an opportunity against the Titans.

JORDAN LEGGETT, tight end

Don't Edit

Austin Seferian-Jenkins is the Jets' starting tight end, but he's suspended the first two games of the year. Leggett figures to fill in while he's gone.

Leggett has had moments in camp, but didn't do much in the preseason opener. He needs to show he's a reliable option. Otherwise, the Jets may give his reps to Chris Gragg or Jason Vander Laan.

JALIN MARSHALL, receiver

Don't Edit

Like Seferian-Jenkins, Jalin Marshall will also serve a suspension to start the year (four games). Unlike Seferian-Jenkins, Marshall hasn't been good in training camp.

The wideout has struggled immensely holding onto the ball, and hasn't made as many impact plays as he did as a rookie. He'll stick around as insurance to start the year — suspended players don't count against the 53-man roster — but he's no guarantee once he's reinstated. Marshall needs to show he can be a reliable option in the passing game.

MARCUS MAYE, safety

Don't Edit

Maye is starting to come into his own. The Florida product is showing in camp — quite regularly — the ballhawking tendencies which led to his second-round selection in this year's draft. Maye didn't play much in the preseason opener (he's a starter). He'll play more against the Lions. Will his strong camp play translate to a game?

BILAL POWELL, running back

Don't Edit

Powell returned to practice this week after injuring his neck on Aug. 4. Coach Todd Bowles said he'll play against the Lions. The question? Will he stay healthy? Powell has had durability concerns throughout his career. The Jets need him healthy throughout the 2017 season, or the offense — especially with Matt Forte still dealing with a hamstring issue — could be in trouble.

JAMAL ADAMS, safety

Don't Edit

Jamal Adams said he wasn't happy when coaches removed him from the Titans game so early. He's used to playing quite a bit. The whole in-and-out preseason situation was new to him.

In his limited reps, Adams showed some good.. and some bad. He was physical and flashed his tremendous closing speed, but also played the wrong gap which led to decent Derrick Henry run in the first quarter. He's still a rookie. He'll take his lumps. The Jets just hope he continues to get better.

Will he against the Lions? That's to be determined. But he'll play a bit longer, so that should make him happy.
