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 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.

Chazz Surratt fined for tripping during game-winning punt-return touchdown

Chazz Surratt penalized after all for his tripping incident Monday.

Jets linebacker Chazz Surratt may or may not have gotten away with a tripping penalty during Xavier Gipson’s game-winning touchdown in overtime Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. But he isn’t getting away scot-free.

The NFL fined Surratt $4,833 for unnecessary roughness, even though the penalty was not called. Surratt has the right to appeal the fine.

From the NFL’s Operations Manual: “Cases are heard by appeals officers and former NFL players, Derrick Brooks or James Thrash, who are jointly appointed and compensated by the NFL and NFLPA. The decisions made by Brooks or Thrash are final and binding.”

Surratt was not the only Jet fined for unnecessary roughness. Fellow linebacker Quincy Williams was hit twice for unnecessary roughness penalties. Each of those will cost Williams $13,333.

A Bills player was also fined for his taunting penalty. Linebacker Matt Milano was tagged for $10,927.

Social Media reacts to Chazz Surratt’s controversial block

Social Media reacts to Chazz Surratt’s controversial block that led to the New York Jets game-winning punt return.

Week one of the NFL had a Controversial ending Monday night involving former Tar Heel [autotag]Chazz Surratt[/autotag].

The New York Jets took on the Buffalo Bills with the world watching Aaron Rodgers debut in green and white. That debut did not last long with Rodgers leaving the game early into the first quarter and would not return with speculation of a season-ending injury.

Despite no Rodgers, the Jets remained in the game, largely thanks to their defense forcing Bills quarterback Josh Allen into three interceptions and two fumbles. The game would eventually go into overtime, with the Bills failing to do anything on their first possession.

That is when the play that broke social media happened. The Bills punted the ball off to Xavier Gipson, who took it 65 yards to the end zone to win the game for New York. However, that play would not happen if it was not for Surratt’s block that opened the field for Gipson’s walk-off touchdown.

Once the game ended, what appeared to be a great block leading to the touchdown had some looking at it as an illegal tripping call that the refs just missed. ESPN’s John Parry talked about the call following the touchdown.

“It is big, but you’ve gotta put an asterisk on it because there’s a tripping call that was not made. “Parry said . “A trip, a leg whip, right near the 23-yard line, No. 55, which would have brought the touchdown back.”.

This uprooted social media as some defended Surratt, feeling like the block was legal, and others questioned whether it was a missed call.

Let us look at how social media reacted to Surratt’s game-winning block/trip.

Chazz Surratt makes final cut for the New York Jets

Former North Carolina Tar Heel Chazz Surratt appears to have made the final 53-man roster for the New York Jets.

After an impressive preseason performance, former Tar Heel [autotag]Chazz Surratt[/autotag] appears to have made the final 53-man roster for the New York Jets.

It looks like Surratt has found his new home, with multiple reports believing Surratt did enough to make the final cut after he was seen at the Jets practice Tuesday. Surratt joined the Jets last season but has become a fan favorite this off-season, largely thanks to his play on the field and appearance on HBO’s Hard Knocks.

In two games played this preseason, Surratt mustered up seven tackles and an interception that made it onto Hard Knocks.

Surratt was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the third round with the 78th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Robert Saleh has high praise for Chazz Surratt on Hard Knocks

Former UNC football linebacker Chazz Surratt earned some praise by Robert Saleh in the first episode of Hard Knocks.

The newest season of HBO’s Hard Knocks series has officially kicked off with the New York Jets as the featured team. This Jets roster has a few Tar Heels on the team with running back Michael Carter and linebacker Chazz Suratt.

And after the first episode, both were featured in the HBO series.

One moment that stood out came during the Hall of Fame Game last week which was featured in the episode. In that game, Surratt picked off Kellen Mond and was shown making another big tackle. Following the play, head coach Robert Saleh had praise for the linebacker which as caught on tape:

That’s certainly some high praise from the head coach.

After spending a few years with the Vikings, Surratt is now trying to earn a roster spot as a linebacker with the Jets. He’s in a battle to make the 53-man roster and hearing that from Saleh is a good thing.

We also should be expecting to see more from Surratt during the series as he appears to be someone they want to highlight in terms of a roster battle.
