The New York Jets will be without one key player on offense and defense against Buffalo.
Wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstrings) and linebacker Avery Williamson (hamstring) were both ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Bills. Mims hurt his good hamstring on Thursday and did not practice Friday. Adam Gase told the media Friday that Mims could be a candidate for short-term injured reserve, but he’ll discuss that with Joe Douglas. Gase added that he “feels like [expletive]” for Mims because the rookie was just getting back from his first hamstring injury.
As expected, quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) and running back La’Mical Perine (ankle) are both out. The Jets will either promote David Fales or Mike White from their practice squad in place of Flacco.
Safety Marcus Maye (calf/ankle) is listed as questionable, but he is expected to play Sunday after a limited practice on Friday. Guard Alex Lewis (shoulder) is also questionable but should play.
LB Tarell Basham (ankle), WR Jamison Crowder (hamstring), WR Breshad Perriman (knee) and DL Nathan Shepherd (rib) all fully participated in Friday’s practice. Shepherd was just added to Friday’s injury report.
As for the Bills, cornerback Josh Norman has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, which could benefit New York’s limited group of receivers. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Vernon Butler is questionable with a hamstring injury.
