Breece Hall Breece Hall Jets committed to run Sun, Oct 13, 2024, 11:11 AM The Jets' interim coach Jeff Ulbrich is committed to building a run-first offense, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Analysis: Hall hasn't been able to get untracked for most of this season, so any positive talk will be welcomed but also met with skepticism until we see real changes that help him and Braelon Allen out.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Ready to play Monday Sat, Oct 12, 2024, 3:31 PM Rodgers (ankle) does not carry an injury designation in Monday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: There really never seemed to be any risk Rodgers would miss the primetime contest, especially after the shake up to the coaching staff following the firing of head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets also replaced offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with Todd Downing, who will be taking over play-calling duties for the dysfunctional offense. As a result, it's fair to assume the offense and Rodgers could look better, even if it's only a week, given the scrutiny on everyone in New York.
Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Questionable for Monday Sat, Oct 12, 2024, 3:23 PM Conklin (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Analysis: Conklin was a limited participant in practice all week, which typically is a positive sign in regards to gameday activation. The veteran is coming off one of his better days on the young season tallying six catches for 55 yards in the Week 5 loss. Expect more information regarding his status to arrive before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.
Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Another limited practice Friday Fri, Oct 11, 2024, 3:08 PM Conklin (hip) remained limited in practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Conklin also was limited Thursday. The starting tight end will have one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation as he tries to avoid an injury designation for Monday's home game against the Bills.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Limited by ankle Friday Fri, Oct 11, 2024, 3:05 PM Rodgers (ankle) remained limited in practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Rodgers has registered back-to-back limited practices as the Jets prepare for Monday's pivotal home game against the Bills, the winner of which will be in first place in the AFC East. He's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, but Rodgers may be over the hamstring issue that also has been bothering him, as it wasn't listed on Friday's injury report. He'll try to upgrade to full participation Saturday in an effort to avoid an injury designation.
Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Limited with hip injury Thu, Oct 10, 2024, 9:47 AM Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Thursday that Conklin (hip) will be limited in practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Analysis: Conklin is coming off the best game of his 2024 campaign, having secured six of nine targets for 55 yards in New York's 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London. The veteran tight end will have two more opportunities to increase his activity level at practice before Monday's key divisional matchup against the Bills. Conklin worked as the No. 3 target for the Jets' offense behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard in Week 5, but with Albert Breer of SI.com reporting that passing game coordinator Todd Downing will take over offensive playcalling duties, changes could be on deck for Aaron Rodgers (ankle/hamstring) and this offense.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Set for limited practice Thu, Oct 10, 2024, 9:41 AM Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Thursday that Rodgers (ankle/hamstring) will practice in a limited capacity but will be ready for Monday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Analysis: Rodgers is dealing with both a low-ankle sprain and hamstring injury in the aftermath of New York's 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The veteran signal-caller appeared to sustain at least the ankle issue during the third quarter of the Jets' loss to Minnesota, but he didn't ultimately miss a single of the team's 71 offensive snaps while attempting a season-high 54 passes. Monday's divisional contest against Buffalo will feature a transformed Jets team, with former head coach Robert Saleh having been fired and passing game coordinator Todd Downing slated to take over offensive playcalling duties, per Albert Breer of SI.com, but at the least Rodgers' availability doesn't seem to be in any jeopardy.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Ankle injury not overly concerning Mon, Oct 7, 2024, 8:12 AM Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Rodgers' sprained left ankle will be examined further, but the Jets have been encouraged by all the preliminary evaluations of the injury, Ethan B. Greenberg of the team's official site reports. Analysis: Rodgers is tending to a low-ankle sprain, which he appeared to sustain when he took a big hit on a third-down incompletion with 6:11 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. However, after a roughing the punter penalty extended the Jets' drive, Rodgers returned to the field for the next offensive play, and he ended up playing all 71 snaps in the loss while completing 29 of 54 attempts for two touchdowns, three interceptions and 244 yards. Though Saleh's comments suggest that Rodgers will be good to go for Monday's game against the Bills, the veteran quarterback's practice participation could still be managed leading up to the contest.
Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson No targets in London loss Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 9:20 PM Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings and returned two punts for 31 yards. Analysis: Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 times, but none of those passes were directed at Gipson, as the Jets utilized Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams in three-receiver sets. Gipson contributed to the Jets' comeback bid with a 31-yard punt return, which helped set up New York's first touchdown late in the first half. He's a good special teams player but doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.
Mike Williams Mike Williams Held to two catches in London Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 9:16 PM Williams caught two of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Williams' lack of involvement was discouraging considering Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 yards as the Jets went pass-heavy in an attempt to dig out of a 17-0 hole. The veteran wide receiver tied with Breece Hall for a distant fourth in targets behind Garrett Wilson's 22, Allen Lazard' 10 and Tyler Conklin's nine. Despite Lazard's frequent drops, he and Wilson have seen much more consistent attention from Rodgers than Williams has. Up next for Williams and the Jets is a pivotal Week 6 home game against the Bills on Monday Night Football.
Braelon Allen Braelon Allen Stymied by Vikings Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 1:49 PM Allen rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added one reception on two targets for 15 yards. Analysis: Allen was limited by both volume and inefficiency in the Week 5 loss, as he averaged only 2.6 yards per carry and had a long gain of just seven yards. The Jets also attempted only 14 rushes as opposed to 54 passes as they faced a negative game script for the entire contest. That led to a poor result, and Allen was also out-touched 12-6 by Breece Hall heading into a Week 6 bye.
Allen Lazard Allen Lazard Finds end zone in loss Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 1:44 PM Lazard recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Lazard finished second on the team with 10 targets and now has at least eight targets in three of five games on the season. He's topped 60 yards only once, though he remains a trusted option for Aaron Rodgers near the end zone as he managed his fourth touchdown catch of the campaign on a 14-yard snag just before halftime. Garrett Wilson will be the top target for Rodgers nearly every week, but Lazard has held off Mike Williams as a priority for opportunity to this point.
Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Season-best six catches Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 1:39 PM Conklin recorded six receptions on nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Conklin emerged as a favorite target of Aaron Rodgers in a pass-heavy game script, finishing third on the team with nine targets. He had a few big plays in the first half, highlighted by gains of 25 and 13 yards. The Jets' passing offense is heavily concentrated, and Conklin should remain a priority behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Scripted out of loss Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 1:01 PM Hall rushed the ball nine times for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added three catches on four targets for 14 yards. Analysis: The Jets fell behind early in the contest, limiting Hall to single-digit carries for the second consecutive week. He had poor overall efficiency, though he did show some burst with 10 and seven-yard gains on separate carries. While it was a second straight frustrating performance, Hall still clearly held the lead-back role for New York, as he had 12 total touches compared to six for Braelon Allen.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Racks up 13 catches in loss Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 12:38 PM Wilson recorded 13 receptions on 22 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Wilson benefitted from the Jets falling behind 17-0 before halftime and impressively drew 22 of the team's 51 targets. That was the primary reason for optimism in the performance, as he still struggled to pair up efficiently with Aaron Rodgers by averaging only 4.6 yards per target. Despite that concerning sign, Wilson's productivity in this game was positive, headlined by his second touchdown and first 100-yard effort of the campaign.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Dealing with ankle issue Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 12:37 PM Rodgers relayed after Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings that he's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Analysis: Rodgers' status will thus be worth monitoring ahead of the Jets' Oct. 14 game against the Bills. Added context on that front will arrive no later than Thursday, when the team resumes practice.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Three picks in loss Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 12:25 PM Rodgers completed 29 of 54 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: The Jets fell behind 17-0 late in the second quarter, leading Rodgers to attempt a season-high 54 pass attempts. He put up decent stats based on that volume, but he was inefficient by posting 4.7 yards per attempt while still looking out of sync with many of his targets. Rodgers also threw three interceptions --including a game-sealing pick on a potential game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter -- in a game for only the sixth time in his career, four which transpired in 2017 or earlier. Positively, Rodgers has multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games and has reached 225 passing yards in each of his last three contests.
Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Healthy inactive for Week 5 Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 7:16 AM Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports. Analysis: The rookie third-round pick out of Western Kentucky had been active for each of the Jets' first four games, but he played just three total snaps (two on offense, one on special teams) in Weeks 1 through 3, and he didn't see the field at all in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos. Corley will now find himself on the inactive list for the first time all season while the Jets have five wide receivers suit up ahead of him.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Cleared for takeoff in London Fri, Oct 4, 2024, 1:03 PM Rodgers (knee) isn't listed on Friday's injury report and will start Sunday's game against the Vikings in London, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Analysis: Rodgers was banged up in the Jets' Week 4 loss to Denver but didn't miss any snaps in that game and returned to full practice participation Thursday, suggesting he was never truly in danger of sitting out against Minnesota. Confirmation of his availability Friday will spare Rodgers' fantasy managers the headache of getting up early to check on his status before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Logs full practice Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 3:49 PM Rodgers (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Rodgers was limited Wednesday, though head coach Robert Saleh indicated that he was "not concerned" about the quarterback's Week 5 availability. With a full practice under his belt, Rodgers is set to start Sunday's game against the Vikings while throwing to a WR corps currently led by Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams. Meanwhile, the Jets are reportedly high on the wish list of star pass catcher Davante Adams, in terms of his preferred trade fits.
