Jets Banged Up Heading Into Jags Game; Injury Report

[JetNation]

The NY Jets have a short week with a game coming up on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Monday, Robert Saleh provided this NY Jets injury update.

• Jeff Smith who did not finish the game, he’ll be questionable for the game for Thursday.
• Denzel Mims is in the concussion protocol, he’s most likely going to be out.
• Zonovan Knight will also be questionable, but his arrow’s pointing up, he’s dealing with an ankle.
• Corey Davis, we feel very confident that he should be able to roll on Thursday.
• Mike White is still going through evaluation.
• Quinnen’s Williams arrow’s up. Hopefully, we’ll get him out there on Thursday
• Lamarcus Joyner will be questionable
• Brandin Echols will be out.

Quinnen Williams missed the game on Sunday but there was a chance he was going to play. Saleh spoke about that and explained it this way.

It was probably more wishful thinking, hoping that he would wake up on Sunday and be ready to roll. It just wasn’t, at the same time, we feel very optimistic about Thursday. Obviously, he’s got to do a couple of things, but he’s better than 50/50 this week.

Is Mike White getting more scans? What is needed before he is cleared for contact?

That’s a good one. I think that’s going to be more with him and, again, all the different opinions he’s getting outside the building with regards to getting more scans. A lot of doctor talk, I’m not going to get into it here, but there’s more scans to see how much he’s healed. There was talk that they felt like a week could show some more healing — some callus, if you will — that will allow him to get on the field, but again, that’s something that he would have to get from another doctor and still be able to talk to our doctors about, too. So, there are a lot of hurdles he would have to go through.

Here is the full NY Jets injury report that the team sent out. Note there is an error in the graphic, they listed the days this week as Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Instead of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

So, unless Zach Wilson, Brandon Mann and Braxton Berrios are out, why does this matter?  We need hope.

Doesn't sound like he's living up to his contract in Jax ... though whether that's his fault or the contract's, I can't say.

Cam Robinson is out for the year, which is big. If Scherff is also out or struggling, we must exploit that to create turnovers and negative plays, as well as stopping their run game cold. We won't likely win a shoot out, so we need to make it a slug fest.

The Jags lost their LT, Cam Robinson for the year.  Their 2nd best OL player, Scherff, is likely to be out as well.  Rumor around town, both Walker and Fatukasi wont be play either.   Both team are banged up, it's Dec. Football.

Jags are pretty banged up as well losing their starting LT

Travon Walker not looking like such a great pick at this point. He is the poster child for everything wrong with the draft evaluation process.

Wow. Well that would be a huge boost to the the Jets who look like are going to get Quinnen, Corey Davis, and Joyner back

He made some clutch catches.

If it aint rough, it aint right.

[Greg555]

Are the Jags more banged up than we are?   No excuses, but considering the awful weather (rain/wind)..let’s hope we win the turnover battle.

luck…or lack of…will be more of a factor than usual 

[PepPep]

Jags:

Walker- OUT

Foley Fat- OUT

Robinson- OUT

Scherff- Questionable, I'm assuming he will play

Taylor- Questionable, I'm assuming he will play

Mike White has to go outside the organization to find a doctor who will clear him, then have that doctor convene with the Jets doctors to argue that he should be cleared? Has anyone ever heard of this before?
