Jets lineman Alex Lewis did not suit up against the Dolphins — and nobody is saying why.

Lewis was listed as questionable on Friday after being limited in practice for a non-injury reason. New York deactivated him on Sunday, leaving itself without two starters on the offensive line. When asked after the game why Lewis did not play, Adam Gase refused to provide any details, calling it a “team decision” that was handled in-house, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

“We were surprised,” said Greg Van Roten, who disclosed that the Jets did not find out until Saturday that Lewis would not play against Miami.

With Gase remaining tight-lipped on the situation, odds are the reason for Lewis being inactive will remain a mystery for the foreseeable future. Pat Elflein started in his place and struggled, as all of the Dolphins’ three sacks came from interior pressure.

It remains to be seen if Lewis will return against the Raiders next weekend. Whatever the reason he did not play, the 28-year-old was missed dearly against Miami and will be a boost for New York in the trenches once he does get back on the field.

Jets vs. Dolphins inactives: Tua Tagovailoa out, Ryan Fitzpatrick to start for Miami

Jets vs. Dolphins inactives.

It’s officially once again Fitzmagic time.

After being downgraded to doubtful on Saturday, Tua Tagovailoa is inactive against the Jets after injuring his left thumb in practice on Wednesday. With Tagovailoa sidelined, Ryan Fitzpatrick will make his first start since he threw for 191 yards and three touchdowns against the Jets in Week 6.

The Dolphins will also be without Salvon Ahmed, who has started their last two games at running back. Myles Gaskin also remains on injured reserve for another week with a knee injury, making Matt Breida Miami’s starter in Week 12.

As for the Jets, they will surprisingly be without Alex Lewis on Sunday afternoon. Lewis was listed as questionable on Friday after being limited in practice for a non-injury reason. With Lewis out, New York will be down two starters on its offensive line, as George Fant is inactive with ankle and knee injuries. Chuma Edoga is also out with an ankle injury, leaving Conor McDermott to start at right tackle. Cameron Clark is active and likely to start in place of Lewis at left guard.

New York’s other inactives are James Morgan and Ross Travis.

Tua Tagovailoa doubtful for Dolphins vs. Jets, Ryan Fitzpatrick likely to start

The Dolphins are likely to be without Tua Tagovailoa against the Jets in Week 12.

The Dolphins will likely be without Tua Tagovailoa when they travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Tagovailoa has been downgraded to doubtful for Miami’s Week 12 matchup after injuring his left thumb in practice on Wednesday, per NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo. With Tagovailoa unlikely to play, Ryan Fitzpatrick is set to start for the first time since the Dolphins defeated New York, 21-0, in Week 6. Fitzpatrick shined in that game, throwing for 191 yards and three touchdowns.

The Jets also made a pair of injury-related moves on Saturday, adding Jimmy Murray to the active roster and placing Patrick Onwuasor on injured reserve. New York is dealing with quite a few injuries along its offensive line, as Chuma Edoga (ankle) and George Fant (knee/ankle) are doubtful for Sunday’s game. Connor McDermott is expected to start at right tackle.

Murray has jumped back and forth between the Jets’ practice squad and active roster in 2020, appearing on New York’s gameday roster five times. However, Murray has yet to play in a game for the Jets this season.

Onwuasor was activated from injured reserve on Nov. 18 after suffering a non-contact knee injury in training camp. The veteran linebacker played only eight special teams snaps against the Chargers last weekend before injuring his hamstring.

Jets vs. Bills inactives: Jamison Crowder out, Becton and Darnold return against Buffalo

The Jets will be without their No. 1 wide receiver against the Bills on Sunday afternoon, as Jamison Crowder is inactive with a groin injury.

The Jets will be without their No. 1 wide receiver against the Bills on Sunday afternoon, as Jamison Crowder is inactive with a groin injury.

Crowder tweaked his groin in practice during the week and was downgraded to doubtful on Saturday despite practicing on a limited basis on Friday. Crowder caught seven passes for 115 yards and one touchdown against Buffalo in Week 1, so it will be on the likes of Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims, who is making his NFL debut after being activated from injured reserve, to make up for that lost production.

The Jets are also without Sam Ficken, who sustained a groin injury of his own during the week. Sergio Castillo will make his NFL debut and kick in place of Ficken. Alex Lewis is inactive with an injury, while Cameron Clark remains out of action despite being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. Jordan Willis has been traded to the 49ers, but is inactive, as the deal is not yet official, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

On a positive note, Crowder being sidelined coincides with Sam Darnold and Mekhi Becton’s return to the starting lineup. Becton missed New York’s last two games with a shoulder injury and its offensive line struggled mightily over that span, allowing 13 quarterback hurries, 10 quarterback hits and five sacks. The Louisville product will assume his starting spot at left tackle and is tasked with slowing down Mario Addison and Jerry Hughes as he did in Week 1. The Jets’ offense sputtered with Darnold on the sideline, as Joe Flacco underwhelmed and posted only 10 points in two starts under center.

As for the Bills, they will be without starting wide receiver John Brown and running back T.J. Yeldon, who took on an increased role in Buffalo’s ground game the last two weeks.

Jets injury report: Who will kick with Sam Ficken doubtful?

In the Jets’ final injury report of the week, both Sam Ficken and Alex Lewis are listed as doubtful with five other players questionable.

The Jets will get some fresh faces back but will also be down a couple of starters in Week 7 against the Bills.

In New York’s final injury report of the week, Sam Ficken (groin) and Alex Lewis (shoulder) are listed as doubtful. Ficken suffered a groin injury during practice this week, so the Jets will have to promote Sergio Castillo from the practice squad. Ficken has connected on nine of his 10 field goal attempts and has made all six of his extra-point attempts this season.

As for Lewis, he is considered week-to-week while dealing with the same shoulder injury that cost Sam Darnold the last two games. Josh Andrews will likely start in Lewis’ place.

Barring any setbacks, Darnold (shoulder) and Mekhi Becton (shoulder) are expected to play Sunday, They are officially listed as questionable. In Jamison Crowder’s case, his status is up in the air. New York’s starting slot receiver injured his groin during practice on Wednesday. He sat out Thursday and was limited on Friday. The Jets will have to see how Crowder feels pregame before making a decision one way or another.

George Fant (knee) and Chuma Edoga (calf) are listed as questionable. If Fant is active, he’ll shift over to right tackle after starting on the left side in place of Becton.

Jets injury report: Alex Lewis dealing with ‘multiple’ shoulder issues

Alex Lewis sustained a shoulder injury on Sunday that has multiple issues with it.

The Jets’ offensive line is starting to unravel.

Adam Gase spoke to the media on Monday and said that Alex Lewis is dealing with “multiple issues with his shoulder” and is considered week-to-week. According to the Daily News’ Manish Mehta, Lewis suffered a sprained AC joint. Sam Darnold has the exact same injury and has missed the last two games.

Speaking of Darnold, he is continuing to progress in his rehab, as is Mekhi Becton (shoulder). Darnold was able to throw on a side field last week, while Becton was limited in Friday’s practice.

Denzel Mims (hamstrings) took a lot of reps with the scout team last week and there’s a chance he makes his debut this week against the Bills.

Mathias Farley injured his ankle on Sunday and Chuma Edoga suffered a calf injury. Frankie Luvu has a groin injury that could cause him to be out for a while.

Jets injury report: Mekhi Becton doubtful, 5 listed as questionable

Mekhi Becton is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins with a shoulder injury.

Mekhi Becton took a step in the right direction on Friday, but he’s likely not ready to play just yet.

Becton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday after not practicing all week. However, he is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Sam Darnold (shoulder) is also listed as doubtful, but didn’t practice all week. Joe Flacco will make his second consecutive start.

Bless Austin didn’t practice on Friday as well, but it was not injury-related. He has a calf injury and is listed as questionable after being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

John Franklin-Myers (foot), Alex Lewis (shoulder), Breshad Perriman (ankle) and Quinnen Williams (hamstring) are all questionable. Denzel Mims is not expected to play as well.

As for the Dolphins, Shaq Lawson (shoulder), Durharn Smythe (knee) and Kyle Van Noy (groin) are questionable.

Jets injury report: Sam Darnold out for Week 6, Denzel Mims back at practice

As for Wednesday’s Jets injury updates, Adam Gase ruled out QB Sam Darnold for Week 6, while rookie WR Denzel Mims returned to practice.

As the Jets get ready to take on the Dolphins in Week 6, they will again be without their starting quarterback. On Wedneday, Adam Gase ruled out Sam Darnold (right shoulder) for Sunday’s game and named Joe Flacco the starter again.

On the other hand, Denzel Mims (hamstring) returned to practice. Gase was non-committal on whether the rookie wide receiver will come off injured reserve for Sunday. Still, Mims has been itching at getting back on the field and has an outside chance at playing vs. the Dolphins, according to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes.

Both of the Jets’ starters on the left side of the offensive line — Mekhi Becton and Alex Lewis — will not practice Wednesday, as both are dealing with shoulder injuries. Lewis will be limited going forward but should be good to go for Sunday. As for Becton, the Jets haven’t provided much of an update, but it was reported on CBS’s Broadcast in Week 5 that he was dealing with a capsule injury in his shoulder.

CB Bless Austin, WR Breshad Perriman and DL Quinnen Williams were all limited during practice.

The Jets designated Mims, CB Arthur Maulet (groin) and OL Cameron Clark (shoulder/knee) to return to practice; they will have 21 days to activate these three players from injured reserve. New York also signed DL Tanzel Smart and K/P Sergio Castillo to its practice squad and released WR Donte Moncrief from the practice squad.
