Falcons rule out OL Chuma Edoga for Sunday’s game vs. Saints

The #Falcons have ruled out OL Chuma Edoga for Sunday’s game against the Saints

The Atlanta Falcons (5-8) have ruled up backup offensive lineman Chuma Edoga for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints (4-9). Fortunately for the Falcons, Edoga is their only player with an injury designation heading into Week 15.

Wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous day due to illness, along with running back Cordarrelle Patterson, who was given a day off for rest on Thursday.

Check out the team’s final Week 15 injury report below.

It’s also important to note that left guard Elijah Wilkinson has practiced this week but is still technically on injured reserve. Look for the Falcons to make a move in the next day to activate Wilkinson if they intend to play him against the Saints.

The NFL’s most interesting Wednesday waiver claims

After final cuts on Tuesday, NFL teams had Wednesday to claim players on the open market. Here are the most interesting waiver claims.

The bad news as NFL teams get down to their league-mandated 53-man rosters is that hundreds of players lost their jobs Tuesday, August 30 by 4:00 p.m. EST. That’s when the clock stopped for anything more than the final 53.

The good news? That’s a lot of talent on the open market, and teams are looking to place waiver claims on some of those players — and some of those players still have a lot left in the tank.

Here’s how it all works, once it’s time to pick from those players, especially if those players are added to practice squads.

Here are the most interesting players who were cut on Tuesday, and were subsequently added to other rosters on Wednesday.

Former Jets OT Chuma Edoga claimed off waivers by Falcons

Chuma Edoga is headed to Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons have claimed offensive tackle Chuma Edoga off waivers from the Jets, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Jets were looking for a trade partner for Edoga, including the Cowboys, reportedly, but could not find one, leading to him being waived Tuesday.

Edoga was splitting first-team reps with rookie Max Mitchell between the time that Mekhi Becton suffered his knee injury and the signing of Duane Brown. He will now compete for the right tackle job in Atlanta with 2019 first-round pick Kaleb McGary.

Jets cut Chuma Edoga after not finding a trade partner

The Jets move on from a former Maccagnan draft pick

The Jets are letting go of former third-round pick OT Chuma Edoga, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The Jets were attempting to trade Edoga and it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys had interest in Edoga but a deal never came to fruition. As a result, the Jets are just going to simply release him.

Edoga was drafted No. 92 overall by the Jets in the 2019 draft, the last draft ran by former general manager Mike Maccagnan. Edoga was running as one of the backups for the Jets at tackle, but the team seemed to like Max Mitchell more

Edoga appeared in 24 games with 12 starts over three seasons with the Jets.

Jets OL Cameron Clark taken to hospital after scary neck injury

Jets OL Cameron Clark was taken to the hospital after suffering a neck injury. Robert Saleh said he had “some” movement in his extremities.

A scary scene unfolded at Jets practice Tuesday when offensive lineman Cameron Clark was carted off the field and left in an ambulance after suffering a neck injury.

Robert Saleh cut practice short after Clark left the field on a spine board. The coach didn’t go into details about the cause or severity of the injury, though Saleh did say that Clark had “some” movement in his extremities. He added that the team will know more later Tuesday.

Clark was taken to Morristown Medical Center, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

Clark was set to be a backup lineman – likely a guard – in his second season after the Jets took him in the fourth round of the 2020 draft. He did not play at all last year due in part to a shoulder injury.

Two other Jets left Tuesday’s practice early with injuries. Backup offensive lineman Chuma Edoga suffered a knee injury, but Saleh said that he doesn’t think it’s a “long-term” ailment. Defensive lineman Jabari Zuniga exited early as well, though Saleh didn’t know what the injury was when he spoke to reporters.

Zuniga missed a lot of time with a quad injury during his rookie season in 2020.

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 injury report: Sam Darnold returns to practice on limited basis

Sam Darnold will be returning to practice on a limited basis Wednesday and while the Jets are optimistic, they’re taking it day-to-day.

The Jets have some thanks to give this week.

Sam Darnold (shoulder) will officially be limited at practice on Wednesday. Adam Gase expects Darnold to do “quite a bit,” per ESPN’s Rich Cimini. New York remains cautiously optimistic as it takes a day-to-day approach with its starting quarterback.

Gase added that things appear to be trending in the right direction for Darnold, but wouldn’t go any further than that. Joe Flacco will start his third consecutive game if Darnold can’t go.

As for George Fant, the starting right tackle won’t practice, as he’s dealing with knee and ankle injuries.

In addition to Darnold, Chris Herndon (back), Breshad Perriman (shoulder), Blake Cashman (hamstring) and Chuma Edoga (ankle) will all be limited during Wednesday’s practice.

Jets injury report: George Fant, La’Mical Perine suffered sprains vs. Chargers

George Fant went down with a knee and ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to Chargers.

George Fant took blows to two parts of his lower body in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers.

Fant suffered a knee and ankle sprain that will cause him to be out for a bit. Adam Gase said they’ll see how his injuries play out this week and in the coming weeks.

Fant’s backup, Chuma Edoga, has a low-ankle sprain that will cause him to miss some time as well. Connor McDermott will likely have to slide over to the right side in order to take the places of Fant and Edoga.

As for La’Mical Perine, he went down with a high-ankle sprain. He’ll likely be out for a few weeks. Patrick Onwuasor suffered a hamstring injury in his first game as a Jet and is still being evaluated.

Sam Darnold may be able to practice on Wednesday as the Jets prepare to take on the Dolphins. Gase said it’s a pain tolerance issue for Darnold at this point in his recovery. He just isn’t sure if Darnold can get back up after taking a hit, which is why he is hesitant to allow him to practice.

In other news, the Jets released Mike White and activated Ross Travis off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and returned him to the practice squad.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Jets’ Week 7 game against the Bills.

The New York Jets will face the Buffalo Bills for the final time this season when the two teams meet at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

New York will get its starting quarterback back after Sam Darnold missed the last two games with a shoulder injury. Mekhi Becton will also make his return after dealing with his own shoulder injury.

Jamison Crowder has been downgraded to doubtful with a groin injury. The Jets will also be without Sam Ficken, as he injured his groin and is listed as doubtful. Sergio Castillo will kick for the Jets on Sunday in his NFL debut. Alex Lewis is also doubtful with a shoulder injury.

Chuma Edoga (calf) and George Fant (knee) are both questionable.
