Zach Wilson avoids IR as Jets make 5 roster moves

The Jets opted against placing QB Zach Wilson on injured reserve while making a handful of other moves.

The Jets made five roster moves ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Bengals, but it’s the move they didn’t make that stands out.

New York opted against placing QB Zach Wilson on injured reserve. The team believes the rookie could recover from his PCL sprain in time to face the Bills in Week 10, per The Athletic’s Connor Hughes.

In other news under center, Josh Johnson was elevated from the practice squad. He will backup Mike White on Sunday with Joe Flacco inactive. DE Jabari Zuniga was also elevated.

The Jets made a pair of decisions at linebacker, activating Jarrad Davis and signing Noah Dawkins to the active roster. Davis will make his Jets debut Sunday after suffering an ankle injury over the summer.

Finally, New York released S Jarrod Wilson.

Jets DL Quinnen Williams done for the season

Quinnen Williams is done for the season due to a neck injury and a concussion.

Quinnen Williams’ breakout sophomore season has ended.

Adam Gase said Wednesday that Williams will be placed on injured reserve with a neck injury and a concussion. He’ll have to clear the concussion protocol before being placed on injured reserve, though. Williams suffered those injuries in Sunday’s 23-20 win over the Rams.

The second-year player out of Alabama emerged as one of the NFL’s top, young interior defensive linemen this season. In 13 games, Williams registered 53 total tackles, seven sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles.

Now the question with Williams will be whether he can replicate his production in 2021. If he can, that would give the Jets a true force along their defensive line.

In other injury news, CB Javelin Guidry (knee) won’t practice on Wednesday. WR Jamison Crowder, WR Denzel Mims, WR Jeff Smith, OL Josh Andrews, LB Frankie Luvu and DL John Franklin-Myers will all be limited.

Jets place Sam Ficken, La’Mical Perine on IR, activate Ross Travis, Josh Adams

The Jets placed Sam Ficken and La’Mical Perine on injured reserve and activated Ross Travis and Josh Adams from practice squad.

Sam Ficken re-injured himself after making his return from a groin injury on Sunday against the Chargers.

The Jets announced on Tuesday that they placed Ficken and La’Mical Perine on injured reserve. They also activated Ross Travis and Josh Adams from the practice squad.

Ficken missed three games with a groin injury before coming back on Sunday. In his return, Ficken missed two of his four extra-point attempts. For the year, Ficken is 9-10 on field goal attempts and 8-10 on extra points. Sergio Castillo will kick in place of the injured Ficken.

Perine went down with a high-ankle sprain on Sunday. Prior to exiting the game, he scored the second rushing touchdown of his career. The rookie has rushed for 202 yards to go along with 49 receiving yards.

Adams was on the Jets’ active roster for the first two games of the regular season before being sent down to the practice squad. He had eight rushing yards, 14 receiving yards and a rushing touchdown. He’ll likely serve as the No. 3 running back behind Frank Gore and Ty Johnson.

Travis was just activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and placed back on the practice squad. He appeared in the Jets’ Week 9 game against the Patriots.

Jets place Tom Compton on IR, sign Ben Braden to active roster

The Jets have placed Tom Compton on injured reserve and signed Ben Braden to the active roster.

Another New York Jet has landed on injured reserve.

The team announced on Saturday that it has placed offensive lineman Tom Compton on injured reserve with a calf injury. In a corresponding move, the Jets signed offensive lineman Ben Braden to the active roster.

Compton started five games this season at guard for the injured Brian Winters. The Jets signed him in the offseason after he spent the 2018 season with the Vikings.

As for Braden, he has been with the Jets practice squad since November after spending time on the Packers practice squad. Braden was originally signed by the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan in 2017. He was on the practice squad for all of 2017 before appearing in two games in 2018.

Jets place Chuma Edoga, Jeff Smith on injured reserve

The Jets have placed Chuma Edoga and Jeff Smith on injured reserve.

Already with the most players on injured reserve this season, the Jets added two more to the list Tuesday.

The team announced that both offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (knee) and wide receiver Jeff Smith (ankle) have been placed on injured reserve. The Jets also signed wide receiver Keon Hatcher to the practice squad and released center Ryan Crozier.

Edoga was the Jets’ third-round pick this season and had his struggles. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Edoga allowed seven sacks, which was second-most on the team, and had the lowest pass-block win rate among Jets offensive linemen. He made eight starts in his rookie season out of USC.

As for Smith, he was on the practice squad all season before being promoted to the active roster for the Ravens game. In that game, he had one catch for 12 yards. The Jets signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Boston College.

Hatcher was signed to the Lions practice squad in 2017 after being an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas. He played in three games with the Raiders last season and had one catch for eight yards. This season Hatcher spent time on the Packers practice squad before being released at the end of October.

Jets add WR Jeff Smith after sending CB Kyron Brown to IR

The Jets can’t escape the injury bug, yet again, as they send another player to the injured reserve list.

The Jets can’t escape the injury bug, as they sent another player to the injured reserve list on Monday.

Forced to start Kyron Brown at cornerback this past weekend, the Akron product left Sunday’s game with a quad injury. That makes 16 Jets to land on IR this season.

As a result, New York filled the void on their roster by signing wide receiver Jeff Smith. Another undrafted free agent, Smith got his start by signing on to the Jets’ practice squad in September.

The wideout started his career at Boston College as a quarterback. Following his freshman campaign, he made the position change, leading to 72 catches for 1,078 yards and nine touchdowns over the next three years.

Smith possesses a versatile skill set that came to life as a Golden Eagle. Boston College utilized him in the ground game, as well. Smith recorded 902 yards and another nine scores as a rusher.

With a new whole on their practice squad after promoting Smith, the Jets added offensive lineman Brad Lundblade. The 24-year-old spent some time with the Carolina Panthers practice squad before being released earlier this week.
