Final Injury Report: Three Jets' Starters Questionable to Face Texans
The New York Jets have already ruled out offensive guard Wes Schweitzer and rookie receiver Jason Brownlee for their Week 14 home game against the Houston Texans and three more key names are officially questionable to play.
Running back Breece Hall, rookie right tackle Carter Warren and defensive end John Franklin-Myers, all of whom started against the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday, are far from certainties to suit up on December 10 at MetLife Stadium.
After not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday, Hall and Franklin-Myers, both dealing with ankle injuries, participated in a limited capacity on Friday.
"He’s dealing with an ankle," said Saleh of Hall's status on Friday. "It’s just trying to get him comfortable, but we feel good about gameday."
Hall was on the injury report last week, too, but with a hamstring issue. Despite carrying a questionable status, the second-year pro played 46 of 68 offensive snaps in a 13-8 home loss to Atlanta on December 3. Franklin-Myers's ankle problem also emerged this week.
Warren was a late-week addition to the injury report. The fourth-round rookie popped up with a hip problem and his potential absence could cause more upheaval on what's been an injury-ravaged offensive line. With Schweitzer definitely unavailable, the Jets will deploy the 10th different starting combination in 13 games this season.
If Warren can go, then the Garden State product likely fits in at right tackle while Max Mitchell comes off the bench to play right guard. Without Warren, however, Mitchell may have to kick out to right tackle with a Practice Squad reinforcement being called up to play guard.
The Jets' Week 14 opponent will be without starting tight end Dalton Schultz, who was ruled out on Friday due to a hamstring. Receiver Noah Brown is questionable to play on Sunday along with ex-Jets DT Sheldon Rankins and OT George Fant.
The Jets (4-8) will host the Texans (7-5) on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET in East Rutherford.
