The Jets might be short on offensive linemen when they travel to Buffalo in Week 17.
New York had a walkthrough on Tuesday in which both Tom Compton (calf) and Alex Lewis (ankle) did not participate. Compton missed last week’s 16-10 win over the Steelers and was replaced in the starting lineup by Conor McDermott. If either Compton or Lewis cannot play against the Bills, McDermott or Brent Qvale will assume a starting spot on the offensive line. If both are not healthy enough to suit up, both McDermott and Qvale will start, giving the Jets an offensive line made up primarily of backups.
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) was also a non-participant in the walkthrough. The veteran has not played since Week 14 against the Dolphins.
Jamal Adams was limited on Tuesday, but for maintenance purposes. His status for Week 17 is not up in the air.
