Productive game in place of Sauce
Published: 2024-12-10
Echols finished with 10 tackles (nine solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Dolphins.
The 2021 sixth-round pick drew the start with Sauce Gardner out due to a hamstring injury, and he played on all 66 defensive snaps. Echols has appeared in all 13 of New York's games this season, including three starts, recording 31 tackles (23 solo), three pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery. His status for next week's matchup with the Jaguars will likely depend on Gardner's availability.

Slated to start Sunday sans Sauce
Published: 2024-12-08
Echols is expected to start at cornerback for the Jets in Sunday's Week 14 game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is doubtful for the matchup against the Dolphins, likely making room for Echols to slide into a starting role. Echols has largely played on special teams this year, but he does have two starts under his belt, logging five tackles and an interception Week 2 against Tennessee and recording six stops Week 7 against Pittsburgh. If he does start Sunday, Echols could have his hands full trying to slow down Miami's talented wideout duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Absent from injury report
Published: 2024-12-04
Echols (undisclosed) was not listed on the Jets' injury report Wednesday.
Echols was limited to just 15 snaps (two on defense, 13 on special teams) during the Jets' 26-21 loss to the Seahawks this past Sunday due to dehydration. That doesn't appear to be a lingering issue, and the 2021 sixth-round pick should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Exits early in Week 13
Published: 2024-12-01
Echols suffered from dehydration during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Echols failed to record any stats on the day before his departure, but his status heading into Week 14 is likely not in question. His status at practice during the upcoming week will be worth monitoring, but the concern level is likely minimal at the moment.
Ready for Sunday
Published: 2024-11-15
Echols (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Echols sustained a concussion in the Jets' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, but it now appears that he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol in time to face Indianapolis on Sunday. With Echols back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Jets' top rotational cornerbacks in Week 11.
Limited in practice Thursday
Published: 2024-11-14
Echols (concussion) logged a limited practice session Thursday.
Echols didn't play at all in the second half of Sunday's game against Arizona after suffering a first-half concussion. He sat out practice Wednesday but appears to be making progress given his ability to return in a limited fashion Thursday. Echols will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 11 against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Begins week with DNP
Published: 2024-11-13
Echols (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Echols sustained a concussion in the Jets' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, so it's no surprise he's sitting out of practice Wednesday. The Kentucky product must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday, when the Jets host the Colts.
Ruled out versus Cardinals
Published: 2024-11-10
Echols has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Arizona due to a concussion.
Echols will be unable to return after suffering a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game. In his absence, Qwan'tez Stiggers should see increased playing time.
Secures interception in win
Published: 2024-09-16
Echols recorded five total tackles (four solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
Echols filled in for D.J. Reed (knee) as one of the New York's starting outside cornerbacks, picking off Will Levis in the second quarter. The 26-year-old played all 66 of the team's defensive snaps and will likely operate in a similar role if Reed is unable to go again on Thursday Night Football in Week 3 versus the Patriots.
