The New York Jets have a host of issues at cornerback, and now they have one that has simply dropped off the map. Starting cornerback Dimitri Patterson chose not to show up for Fridays preseason game against the Giants, and has been deemed awol.
Latest blow to Jets' CB situation: Dimitri Patterson has gone AWOL, according to John Idzik. Unexcused absence. Never showed for game. #nyj
