Jets cornerback Brian Poole returned to the field against the Steelers in Week 16 after missing two games with a concussion. Now, there’s a chance New York’s nickel corner sits out on Sunday with a new injury.
Poole popped up on the Jets’ injury report after Thursday’s practice with an ankle injury. It can be assumed Poole suffered the injury during practice given the timing of his name being added to the injury report, which states he was limited after being a full participant on Tuesday (the Jets did not practice on Wednesday because of Christmas). The severity of Poole’s injury is currently unknown.
Tom Compton (calf), Alex Lewis (ankle), Demaryius Thomas (hamstring/knee) and Kenneth Dixon (illness) all missed practice on Thursday. Compton, Lewis and Thomas all missed practice on Tuesday, likely would’ve missed practice on Wednesday if there was one and are currently questionable for Sunday. Dixon was a full participant in practice on Tuesday.
