Ranking 2024’s top 12 free-agent offensive tackles

Are there any hog mollies worth keeping an eye on in free agency?

Will the Carolina Panthers be able to find the fabled offensive line depth this offseason?

Here are the top 12 free-agent offensive tackles of 2024:

Jets Week 13 inactives: Randall Cobb, Billy Turner among group

Randall Cobb and Billy Turner are among the Jets inactive for Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Jets announced their inactives for Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. Mekhi Becton is back and will return to his left tackle position. Billy Turner is among those inactive as Carter Warren will get the start at right tackle.

Also back to being inactive is wide receiver Randall Cobb, who was active last week with the Jets benching Allen Lazard for a week. With Lazard back in action, Cobb goes back to the bench.

The full list of inactives for the Jets are as follows:

– WR Randall Cobb
– OL Billy Turner
– OL Austin Deculus
– DE Carl Lawson
– LB Zaire Barnes
– CB Bryce Hall
– QB Zach Wilson (emergency third quarterback)

Jets to activate Duane Brown off injured reserve

Jets to activate Duane Brown off injured reserve

The Jets will be getting back Duane Brown this season after all. On the last day they had, the Jets activated the offensive tackle from injured reserve. He will be available to play Friday against the Miami Dolphins.

Brown was placed on injured reserve with a hip injury on September 24. The Jets opened the 21-day practice window for Brown on November 2. Thursday was the final day they had to bring Brown back onto the active roster. Had they chosen not to activate Brown, he would have remained on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

This allows the Jets to have both Brown and Billy Turner available in a week where Mekhi Becton could be a true game-time decision following his ankle injury Sunday, though Becton has been pushing to play. Becton was limited in practice Wednesday.

Look for the Jets to put Brown back at left tackle and Becton to right. The Jets are set to start their eighth different offensive line combination against the Dolphins.

The Jets also signed Xavier Newman to the active roster. He’ll start at right guard. Jake Hanson and Tanzel Smart were elevated from the practice squad. Chris Glaser, right week’s starter at right guard, was released.

Jets Week 11 inactives: Michael Carter II out vs. Bills

Jets Week 11 inactives: Michael Carter II out vs. Bills

The Jets released one Michael Carter a few days ago and now will be without the other for Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.

Nickel cornerback Michael Carter II is among the inactives Sunday. Carter was a late addition to the injury report with a hamstring injury and was questionable for Sunday. He is now officially out. Look for Brandin Echols to step in at the slot corner position in place of Carter.

The rest of the Jets’ inactives:

WR Randall Cobb
LB Sam Eguavoen
OL Billy Turner
LB Chazz Surratt
DL Carl Lawson
OL Austin Deculus

The Jets are indeed starting to go a bit younger Sunday. Israel Abanikanda and Jason Brownlee are both active Sunday and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Jets start using Jeremy Ruckert more as well.

But on a day where the Jets really could use all hands on deck as they look for the season sweep of Buffalo, not having Carter in the defensive backfield will certainly sting.

Jets Week 10 inactives: Will McDonald out, makes room for Carl Lawson

Jets Week 10 inactives: Will McDonald out, makes room for Carl Lawson

The inactives are out for the New York Jets in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. It was already known that Billy Turner would be due to his injured finger. Duane Brown was ruled out as well, but he hasn’t been activated from injured reserve yet.

The player that was the biggest question mark this week was defensive end Will McDonald. The first-round pick suffered an ankle injury this week and missed practice Friday. He was listed as questionable and was officially deemed inactive for Sunday. As a result, Carl Lawson is back in the rotation.

Here are your inactives for the Jets for Week 10.

Jets elevate Xavier Newman, Malik Taylor from practice squad for Week 10

Jets elevate Xavier Newman, Malik Taylor from practice squad for Week 10

The Jets elevated an offensive lineman from the practice squad, but it was not Rodger Saffold. It will be Xavier Newman getting the call-up once again. He and wide receiver Malik Taylor were elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Newman is now a likely candidate to start at right guard with the Jets likely moving Max Mitchell to right tackle. Duane Brown and Billy Turner are both out for Sunday’s game. Brown was not activated from injured reserve this week while Turner is out with a finger injury.

This is the third elevation for Newman, the maximum allowed for a practice-squad player. If the Jets want to bring him up from the practice squad again, they have to sign him to the 53-man roster. Newman saw time at center against the Giants in Week 8 following injuries to Connor McGovern and Wes Schweitzer.

Taylor is being elevated for the second time this season. His first was last week against the Chargers. He caught one pass for seven yards in New York’s 27-6 loss last Monday.

Jets injury report: Duane Brown, Chazz Surratt, Billy Turner out for Week 10

Jets injury report: Duane Brown, Chazz Surratt, Billy Turner out for Week 10

The Jets will be without two offensive tackles for Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Jets are not activating Duane Brown just yet while Billy Turner is out after getting surgery on his injured finger.

The result is a sixth different starting offensive line combination for the Jets in their ninth game this season. Most likely, the Jets will move Max Mitchell back to right tackle after he started at right guard last week against the Chargers while a new face will start at right guard. Rodger Saffold could get the start. The Jets will likely elevate the veteran from the practice squad.

Linebacker Chazz Surratt is also out as he will miss his second game with an injured ankle.

First-round pick Will McDonald suffered an ankle injury and was a late addition to the injury report, missing Friday’s practice, putting his status for Sunday up in the air. He is officially listed as questionable.

Mekhi Becton (knee), Allen Lazard (knee), Jeremy Ruckert (shoulder) and Quincy Williams (knee) were all full participants in practice Friday and are good to go for Sunday.

Raiders vs Jets final injury report: LT Kolton Miller Doubtful, CB Marcus Peters Questionable

Raiders vs Jets final injury report: LT Kolton Miller Doubtful, CB Marcus Peters Questionable

It looks like the Raiders will be without their starting left tackle Sunday when the Jets come to town. After missing the entire week of practices with a shoulder injury, Kolton Miller has been officially listed as Doubtful for the game.

The Raiders have a couple options to replace Miller at left tackle. They could move right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor over there which would mean Thayer Munford would start at right tackle. Or they could leave Eluemunor at right tackle and start Justin Herron at left tackle.

“Part of our process here the last couple of days is just ‘next man up’ mentality,” said interim head coach Antonio Pierce. “So, if it isn’t Kolton Miller, it’ll be the next gentleman up. Obviously, everybody’s been practicing the right way, so if that comes to fruition and we have to move on from Kolton to somebody else, we’re not going to blink, and they’re not going to blink. And we expect him to do the exact same job Kolton Miller does. And when Kolton Miller goes in here, and he’s in there, he’s going be Kolton Miller. So, we’re fine. No panic. Nobody’s over here worried about what’s going to happen with Kolton if he’s in or not.”

Technically speaking, the ‘next man up’ would be Justin Herron as he is listed as the backup left tackle on the team’s website.

Other Raiders whose status is uncertain include CB Marcus Peters and FB Jakob Johnson. Both are Questionable for the game.

The Jets will be without a couple tackles as well with Billy Turner and Duane Brown both officially OUT.

Raiders, Jets Wednesday injury report: T Kolton Miller, CB Marcus Peters both miss practice

T Kolton Miller, CB Marcus Peters both miss practice Wednesday

Wednesday the Raiders took the practice field preparing for their attempt at an encore against the other New York City team. And they did so with a few important players.

Most notably, they were without left tackle Kolton Miller with a shoulder injury. They were also without CB Marcus Peters with a knee injury.

Still not practicing were LB Divine Deablo (ankle) and FB Jakob Johnson (concussion).

The Jets were without LB Chaz Surratt and T Billy Turner.

Billy Turner has broken bone in hand, Saleh describes injury as ‘concerning’

Billy Turner has broken bone in hand, Saleh describes injury as ‘concerning’

Jets offensive tackle Billy Turner is dealing with a broken bone in his hand, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Head coach Robert Saleh described the injury as “concerning” during his Wednesday press conference with the media.

Turner started at right tackle during Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers as part of the Jets’ fifth unique offensive line combination this season that also included Max Mitchell at right guard and Joe Tippmann at center.

This news is just the latest in what’s been a string of bad luck for the offensive line this season. What’s also concerning for the Jets is Duane Brown may not be activated yet this week. If both Brown and Turner can’t go this week, the Jets may have to put together a makeshift line once again. Remember that Connor McGovern and Wes Schweitzer are both on injured reserve.

The other backup offensive linemen on the active roster are tackles Carter Warren and Dennis Kelly along with guard Chris Glaser.

The Jets also have interior linemen Xavier Newman, Rodger Saffold and Jake Hanson on the practice squad.

Turner hasn’t been ruled out yet. We’ll get a better idea as the week goes on.
