Not yet ready to return from IR
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 7:56 PM
Payne (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 clash against Kansas City.
Analysis: Payne has been on IR all season but was designated to return Wednesday. Despite being a full participant in practice all week, he isn't quite ready for game action. Payne's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Buffalo.
Ruled out for Week 9
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 7:51 PM
Wright (back) won't suit up Sunday against Kansas City.
Analysis: Wright is dealing with a back issue that held him out of practice Friday. The issue is problematic enough to keep the veteran cornerback from suiting up Sunday. Wright's absence shouldn't have a big impact on New York's defensive rotations, as he hasn't yet logged a defensive snap through three contests this year.
Won't play Week 9
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 7:45 PM
Ossai (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Ossai managed a trio of limited practices this week and was initially deemed questionable to suit up Sunday. However, he's not yet ready to play and is going to miss his fourth straight game. Ossai's next chance to return to action is Sunday, Nov. 15, against Buffalo.
Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 9:04 PM
Ossai (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Ossai was a limited participant throughout Week 9 practice as he continues to deal with the ankle injury he sustained in Week 5. The defensive end's upgrade to limited participation this week means he may see the field, but the Jets will likely elect to wait until the 26-year-old is fully healthy to allow him to suit up on game days.
Will not play in Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 2:52 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Wallace (groin) will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Wallace did not practice on back-to-back days after beginning the week as a limited participant due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old has appeared in six games for the Browns this season, with all of his snaps coming on special teams except for one rep on defense in Week 5.
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen Sharing backfield with Hall
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 2:45 PM
Jets coach Aaron Glenn declined to elaborate on the distribution of carries between Allen and Breece Hall, who will return from a five-game absence for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Analysis: Allen averaged 18.6 carries for 100.8 yards and 0.4 TDs over the past four games, adding 2.6 catches for 14.0 yards on 3.4 targets while playing at least 78 percent of snaps each week. He won't get that kind of workload with Hall back in the lineup, but it is possible that this turns into a hot-hand situation where Allen still has a chance to take the majority of carries if he outplays his backfield mate. Both Glenn and Hall said earlier this week that Hall is still viewed as the starter.
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell Another huge opportunity?
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 2:17 PM
Mitchell and Omar Cooper will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Analysis: Mitchell is coming off the best performance of his career -- a 7-141-1 receiving line on 26 routes (nine targets) in last week's 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Cooper also ran 26 routes but finished without a target, despite topping 100 yards in back-to-back games beforehand. Both wide receivers now have a big opportunity with Wilson out of the lineup against a Kansas City defense that's missing cornerbacks Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and L'Jarius Sneed (IR - knee).
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. Primed for key role sans Wilson
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 12:24 PM
Cooper and Adonai Mitchell will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Analysis: After back-to-back 100-yard games in his first two weeks off injured reserve, Cooper ran 26 routes last week without registering a target in the 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, also running 26 routes, and Cimini's report notes that Mitchell "will become the No. 1 receiver" in Wilson's absence. Both Mitchell and Cooper figure to get plenty of snaps and routes, but targets and production aren't as assured.
Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson Ruled out for Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 10:16 AM
Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: With Wilson set to miss the contest, the Jets will be without their top wide receiver as he remains in concussion protocol. His absence leaves targets available to Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper, who get significant boosts to their respective Week 9 fantasy stocks, while Isaiah Williams figures to handle WR3 duties.
Breece Hall
Breece Hall Expected to play Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 8:44 AM
Hall (quadriceps) "has been medically cleared" and is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hall has not taken the field since sustaining a quad injury in Week 3, but he practiced fully Thursday and appears primed to return to action Sunday. Braelon Allen has shined in Hall's absence, but Hall entered the season as the starter, so both figure to be involved to some degree in Week 9.
Secures 12 stops in defeat
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 9:45 PM
Belton recorded 12 total tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Belton was able to secure double-digit stops for the second time this season, finishing second on the team behind linebacker Jamien Sherwood (14). Belton is now up to 68 total tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed over eight contests to begin the regular season.
Registers 14 tackles in loss
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 9:29 PM
Sherwood recorded 14 total tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Sherwood notched a season-high 14 takedowns in the victory, securing double-digit stops for the third time in the last five contests. The linebacker has now compiled 68 total tackles (32 solo), four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over eight games to open the 2026 campaign.
Upgrades to full practice
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:58 PM
Bailey (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After missing Week 8 with the groin injury he suffered the previous week, Bailey appears poised to return after missing just one contest. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 Draft, Bailey has piled up 35 tackles (21 solo), including 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one pass breakup across seven starts this season.
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor Back practicing in full
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:08 PM
Taylor (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Taylor was limited Wednesday, but his return to full Thursday puts him on track for his normal role Sunday against the Chiefs. The tight end has been a surprisingly big part of the passing offense this season despite the selection of Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of April's Draft. Taylor has secured 17 of 23 targets for 136 yards and two touchdowns across six games.
Breece Hall
Breece Hall Practices fully Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:08 PM
Hall (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After opening the week with a limited session, Hall upgraded to full participation Thursday, indicating that he's in the clear to return Sunday against the Chiefs for his first action since Week 3. Braelon Allen has thrived in the lead role during Hall's absence, and offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Thursday that the Jets intend to utilize "a mix" of the two running backs Sunday, per Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports. Hall is the superior receiving back, but Allen is averaging 5.0 yards per carry while Hall averaged just 3.2 YPC prior to getting hurt.
Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson Does not practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:07 PM
Wilson (concussion) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Wilson remains in concussion protocol and has not practiced thus far this week. He was placed in protocol midweek, which makes it an uphill climb for him to be cleared for Sunday's game at the Chiefs. If Wilson can't clear protocol, fantasy managers can expect more targets for Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper.
Breece Hall
Breece Hall Says he's ready to go this week
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 2:20 PM
Hall (quadriceps) indicated Thursday that he's ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hall, who hasn't played since Sept. 27, participated in Thursday's practice, though it remains to be seen if the Jets list him as a full or limited participant. In any case, the running back is trending toward a return to action this weekend, and if he is indeed available versus Kansas City, Hall will rejoin a backfield that's been capably paced paced by Braelon Allen in his absence.
Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson Not spotted at practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 12:03 PM
Wilson, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, wasn't seen at Thursday's practice, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Wilson also logged a DNP on Wednesday, so the wideout's apparent absence from Thursday's session sets the stage for Friday's practice to loom large in terms of his availability for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. In the event that Wilson isn't cleared to play, added targets will be available for some combo of WRs Omar Cooper, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams, as well as tight ends Mason Taylor (back) and Kenyon Sadiq.
Breece Hall
Breece Hall Practicing again Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 12:02 PM
Hall (quadriceps) is participating in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hall, who was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice session, was also limited throughout the week leading up to the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Raiders, which the running back sat out. While the team's coaching staff has expressed optimism that Hall will be ready to return Sunday against the Chiefs, his status will remain up in the air until he's able to practice without limitations. Thursday's participation level has yet to be revealed, but Hall's presence at practice suggests that he has at least avoided a setback.
Back at practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 9:37 PM
Payne (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Jets on Wednesday, Amana Vogt of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Payne has been sidelined since early August while recovering from a bone bruise, and he was able to return to practice Wednesday, logging a full practice. The Jets opened the safety's 21-day practice window, and it may not be long before the rookie is able to make his NFL regular-season debut.
