Kene Nwangwu Kene Nwangwu Practices in full Wednesday Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 6:23 PM Nwangwu (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Analysis: Nwangwu missed the Jets' last game before their Week 9 bye at Cincinnati due to a concussion, but his activity to start the new week of preparation suggests he has a good chance to be available for Week 10 versus the Browns. He has until Sunday to officially clear league concussion protocol.
Stone Smartt Stone Smartt Logs full practice Wednesday Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 6:13 PM Smartt (quadriceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Analysis: Smartt sat out Week 8 at Cincinnati with a quadriceps injury prior to the Jets' bye in Week 9, but he's now on track to suit up in Week 10 versus the Browns. Of his 46 snaps so far this season, 45 have come on special teams.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Limited in return to practice Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 3:35 PM Wilson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Analysis: Wilson hasn't played since suffering a hyperextended knee during Week 6 action, but the wideout's return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- following the Jets' bye has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Wilson now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Jets post their Week 10 injury designations Friday. Prior to his injury, the 2022 first-rounder recorded 36 catches for 395 yards and four TDs (on 56 targets) in six games, marks that still pace the Jets' pass-catching corps.
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Practices without restrictions Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 3:25 PM Taylor (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Analysis: Taylor had been in contention to replace Justin Fields under center and start Week 8 versus the Bengals, but he was instead ruled out due to a knee injury. That paved the way for Fields to log his best performance of the season in the 39-38 win, potentially reaffirming his grip on the starting job. That said, head coach Aaron Glenn has yet to confirm a No. 1 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Browns, as he was noncommittal about Fields entering the Week 9 bye. it shouldn't be long before Glenn provides further clarification.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Practicing Wednesday Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 1:05 PM Wilson (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Wilson didn't practice or play in Week 8, but he seems to be doing much better after a Week 9 bye. The Jets will face a tough Cleveland defense at the Meadowlands this Sunday, with Justin Fields likely starting at quarterback, though head coach Aaron Glenn has thus far declined to name his starter. QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is also expected to practice this week.
Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Part of Gardner trade with Jets Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 12:13 PM The Colts traded Mitchell and two first-round picks to the Jets for CB Sauce Gardner on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Analysis: Indianapolis invested a second-round pick in Mitchell in the 2024 Draft, but the union never meshed, as the wide receiver totaled 32 catches (on 71 targets) for 464 yards and no touchdowns in 25 games through one-and-a-half seasons. In the move to New York, he'll join a receiving corps led by Garrett Wilson but not much more, giving him a chance to rationalize the draft capital invested in him. With Wilson currently dealing with a knee injury, it remains to be seen how soon Mitchell will get acclimated and up to speed with the Jets offense.
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Ready to practice after bye week Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 11:17 AM Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Taylor (knee) will resume practicing this week, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Analysis: After the Jets fell to 0-7 following a 13-6 loss to the Panthers on Oct. 19, all signs seemed to point to Taylor displacing the struggling Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. However, Taylor picked up a knee injury at some point during his appearance in relief of Fields in the loss to Carolina, and Taylor ended up being a limited participant throughout Week 8 prep before being ruled out ahead of the Jets' matchup with the Bengals. Fields continued to direct the offense and turned in one of his best performances of the season en route to leading the Jets to a come-from-behind 39-38 victory over Cincinnati, but Glenn remains non-committal on a starting quarterback coming out of the team's Week 9 bye. Fields' stellar outing might be enough to give him the early edge on the starting nod for Sunday's game against the Browns, even though Taylor looks like he could be back to full health. The Jets' first Week 10 practice report will be posted Wednesday and reveal whether Taylor remains limited or has upgraded to full activity.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Ready to practice again Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 11:10 AM Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson (knee) will resume practicing this week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Analysis: The hyperextended knee that Wilson sustained late in an Oct. 12 loss to the Broncos kept him from practicing ahead of each of the Jets' last two games, but the star wideout appears to be gearing up for a return to the field following his team's Week 9 bye. Before deciding on Wilson's status for Sunday's game versus the Browns, the Jets' coaching and training staffs will likely assess how the receiver's knee responds to his first practice activity in three weeks. Per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, Glenn was unwilling to name a Week 10 starting quarterback, so if Wilson is available to play Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be catching passes from incumbent Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee).
John Metchie John Metchie Traded to Jets Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 2:47 PM New York agreed to terms Wednesday on a trade with the Eagles, sending Michael Carter and a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for Metchie and a 2027 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Analysis: Metchie handled a depth role for Philadelphia across seven regular-season appearances to open the 2025 campaign, in which span he secured all four of his targets for 18 yards. The 2022 second-round pick, who began his NFL career with Houston, will now get a chance to compete for a depth role in a Jets wide receiver corps that desperately needs additional playmakers behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson (knee). Tyler Johnson, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith represent Metchie's top competition with his new team.
Justin Fields Justin Fields Uncertain to start after bye Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 10:54 AM Head coach Aaron Glenn declined Monday to commit to Fields as the Jets' starter after the team's Week 9 bye, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Analysis: Glenn praised Fields' performance during Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals, saying he "managed the game really well," while also noting that "there are still some things within that game that [Fields] knows he has to improve on." Still, Glenn did not reveal whether Fields or Tyrod Taylor will start under center at home against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 9. Taylor seemed to be trending toward the start versus Cincinnati prior to being ruled out with a knee injury, but Fields' performance may have been sufficient to earn him further time in the No. 1 seat. Whoever is under center Week 10 could benefit from the return of WR Garrett Wilson (knee).
Andrew Beck Andrew Beck Makes nine-yard catch in win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 9:25 PM Beck caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Beck has registered a reception in three of the Jets' last four games. The team is desperate for pass catching production after multiple injuries to wide receivers, but the fullback is unlikely to expand his contributions much.
Allen Lazard Allen Lazard Two targets in Week 8 win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 9:22 PM Lazard caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Eight other Jets had more receiving yards than Lazard in Sunday's win. The team will remain shorthanded at wide receiver even if Garrett Wilson (knee) returns after the Week 9 bye, as Josh Reynolds (hip) is on IR, but Lazard is unlikely to fill that void considering he hasn't exceeded 16 yards in a game this season.
Arian Smith Arian Smith Catches lone target in Week 8 win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 9:13 PM Smith caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also had an 18-yard kickoff return. Analysis: Smith's catch kick-started the Jets' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. The rookie fourth-round pick seems unlikely to be used as anything more than an occasional deep target after the Jets' Week 9 bye considering he had just one target Sunday despite the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip).
Jeremy Ruckert Jeremy Ruckert One catch in Week 8 win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 9:07 PM Ruckert caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Ruckert maintained a secondary role as Mason Taylor (quadriceps) suited up after being listed as questionable. Taylor led the team with eight targets and caught the game-winning touchdown. Ruckert's likely to remain in a backup role after the Jets' Week 9 bye.
Isaiah Williams Isaiah Williams Chips in with three catches in win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 9:02 PM Williams caught three of four targets for 31 yards and rushed once for 25 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also tallied five kickoff returns for 132 yards and returned three punts for 38 yards. Analysis: Williams played his usual role as a return man on special teams but also got a chance to contribute meaningfully on offense with the Jets missing wide receivers Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). Williams made the most of his opportunity, but his role on offense is unlikely to expand after the team's Week 9 bye.
Tyler Johnson Tyler Johnson Scores first TD of season Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 4:43 PM Johnson caught three of five targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Johnson stepped up in the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (IR, hip). The highlight of Johnson's performance was a 15-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the second straight game in which Johnson reached the 60-yard threshold and led the Jets in receiving yards. The Jets may get Wilson back in Week 10 against the Browns following a Week 9 bye, but with Reynolds required to miss at least three more games, Johnson could maintain a solid complementary role.
Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Catches game-winning TD in Week 8 Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 4:42 PM Taylor (quadriceps) caught five of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Taylor played through a quadriceps injury and led the Jets in targets. The first touchdown catch of his NFL career was a dramatic one, as running back Breece Hall found Taylor in the back of the end zone on a trick play for the game-winning score from four yards out just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. The Jets could get some reinforcements at wide receiver if Garrett Wilson (knee) or Josh Reynolds (hip) can return after the team's Week 9 bye, but Taylor should remain involved as a pass catcher in the second half of his rookie campaign.
Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Career-best outing in Week 8 win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 4:01 PM Davis rushed seven times for 65 yards and caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also caught a two-point conversion. Analysis: Davis hadn't previously recorded more than 67 scrimmage yards in a regular-season game but stepped up Sunday in a larger change-of-pace role behind Breece Hall, who had been bothered by a knee injury leading up to the game. The 2024 fifth-round pick broke off a career-long 50-yard run in the third quarter, accounting for most of Davis' production on the ground. Hall was fresh enough to take over in the fourth quarter with three total touchdowns, one of which Davis followed up by catching a two-point conversion. Davis' pass-catching skills give him some deep-league value, but he'll likely continue to fill a change-of-pace role after the Jets' Week 9 bye as long as Hall's healthy.
Justin Fields Justin Fields Gets first win with Jets Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 3:58 PM Fields completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown while rushing 11 times for 31 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also ran in a two-point conversion and threw a successful two-point conversion. Analysis: After speculation that the Jets could turn to Tyrod Taylor under center due to Fields' recent struggles, Fields got the start by default once Taylor (knee) was ruled out before the game. Fields threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Johnson in the second quarter to keep the game close enough for Breece Hall to take over in the fourth. Hall ran in two touchdowns, then the running back threw the game-winning touchdown pass on a trick play just after the two-minute warning. After leading the Jets to their first win of the season, Fields is probably the favorite to start in Week 10 against the Browns following a Week 9 bye, though it will be worth monitoring how the Jets distribute practice reps between Fields and Taylor.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Three fourth-quarter TDs in win Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 3:23 PM Hall (knee) rushed 18 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns, caught two of three targets for 14 yards and threw a four-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. Analysis: Hall scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard run early in the fourth quarter, then doubled that total with a 27-yard touchdown run that featured some impressive footwork to stay inbounds along the sideline. He capped the improbable fourth-quarter comeback with a four-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor, as the ensuing PAT gave the Jets their first lead of the game with 1:54 remaining before the defense closed the door. Hall will have a Week 9 bye to help his recovery from a knee injury that limited his practice participation and had him listed as questionable heading into Sunday's win, and he should reprise his role as the team's top backfield option in Week 10 against the Browns.
