Jets' Saleh Rules Out One OL Starter, Max Mitchell's Availability vs. Dolphins TBD

In this story:
The New York Jets will be without rookie right tackle Carter Warren for the second game in a row and another offensive lineman may join him on the sidelines.
Jets' head coach Robert Saleh declared Warren out for the December 17 road test against the Miami Dolphins and mentioned that Week 14 starter Max Mitchell's availability is still to be determined.
"Max Mitchell, he'll be limited today. [We'll] see where he's at after today," said Saleh prior to Friday's practice in Florham Park.
Warren, who is dealing with a hip injury, has not practiced this week. Mitchell, who sustained a stinger during the win over Houston, has been a limited practice participant.
"Max, 50-50," said Saleh on the versatile lineman's likelihood of playing.
With Warren unavailable, and Wes Schweitzer back on Injured Reserve, the Jets started Mitchell at right tackle and Practice Squad signee Jake Hanson at right guard last week. Veteran Billy Turner came on in relief of Mitchell following the injury.
Saleh also ruled out undrafted rookie receiver Jason Brownlee for Week 15.
"Jason Brownlee will be out. Same with Carter Warren," said Saleh.
The Jets' head coach offered some insight on Warren's status, saying that the team expects him back prior to season's end.
"No, if it was season-ending, we would've done something by now. Hopefully, we can get him back next week," said Saleh.
The official injury reports will be available by Friday evening.
