Jets’ Injury Report: Three New Names Appear as Raiders Await
The New York Jets had three new injuries to report on Wednesday.
As the team preps for its Sunday Night Football road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, right tackle Billy Turner, linebacker Quincy Williams and tight end Jeremy Ruckert popped up on the official injury report submitted to the NFL.
Dealing with what’s officially listed as a finger injury, Turner was a non-participant during Wednesday’s walkthrough practice in Florham Park.
“He’s dealing with a hand [injury], which popped up after the game. He’s not gonna practice today,” said Saleh.
Turner started the Jets’ Week 9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, playing all 81 offensive snaps at right tackle.
“It’s concerning. We’ll see how the week progresses,” said Saleh.
Along with Turner, linebacker Chazz Surratt was the Jets’ only other DNP. Surratt, a core special teamer, missed the Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers after not practicing during game week.
Meanwhile, Williams and Ruckert were limited on Wednesday but walkthrough participation is always only an estimation. The former has a knee injury while the latter has a shoulder issue. Williams, who has been performing at a Pro Bowl lever, logged 56 of 58 defensive snaps this past Monday. He made three tackles including one TFL. Ruckert saw 23 offensive snaps against the Chargers, third amongst Jets’ tight ends.
Veteran receiver Allen Lazard was also amongst the limited practice participants. Despite the emergence of a knee injury late last week, Lazard, who was officially listed as questionable, started against the Chargers. He corralled only two of six targets, totaling 18 yards in the 27-6 home loss.
