A special teams ace, Farley spent the past two years with the Jets after three seasons in Indianapolis. 2021 will be his age-29 campaign. 

Farley's return from a one-game absence comes at a convenient time with Jamal Adams (ankle) being ruled out for Thursday's game. The former could see an increased role as a result of the latter being absent.

Farley was unable to play in Sunday's win over the Dolphins due to a rib injury, but he's been practicing in a limited fashion due to an ankle issue all week. The fourth-year safety could be in line for defensive work if he's active since Jamal Adams (ankle) is doubtful, but we won't know Farley's status until inactives are released ahead of Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Farley didn't practice this week and was considered doubtful to play, so it's no surprise to see him not suiting up. Jamal Adams (ankle) is also sidelined, and Darryl Roberts is expected to work at safety Sunday.
