Joe Tippmann named to Pro Football Writers All-Rookie team

Joe Tippmann named to Pro Football Writers All-Rookie team

Jets center Joe Tippmann was seen as one of the top prospects at the center position entering the 2023 NFL Draft and had a chance to make an early impact. He did just that for the Jets and was one of the top rookie offensive linemen this season.

The members of the Pro Football Writers of America agreed and recognized him by placing him on the organization’s All-Rookie Team at center for the 2023 season.

Tippmann started 14 games for the Jets in his debut season. He initially started at right guard in Week 3 due to injuries before Connor McGovern’s injury in Week 8 moved Tippmann over to center, where he would start the rest of the season.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was named Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year while Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. was named Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Jets Week 17 offensive gameday roster vs. Browns

Jets Week 17 offensive gameday roster vs. Browns

The Jets have their gameday roster for Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns. On offense, the Jets will have two quarterbacks available again with Zach Wilson and Aaron Rodgers inactive. Trevor Siemian gets the start with Brett Rypien backing him up.

Wide receiver Allen Lazard is also out with an illness so Randall Cobb will be active behind the usual suspects Garrett Wilson, Jason Brownlee and Xavier Gipson.

Zack Kuntz will be active for the first time after being signed to the 53-man roster this week. He’ll serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah with Jeremy Ruckert out with a concussion.

Here’s a rundown of the full gameday roster on offensive for the Jets in Week 17.

Jets Week 15 injury report: Jason Brownlee out, Carter Warren doubtful

WR Jason Brownlee is out and offensive tackle Carter Warren is doubtful for Week 15 against the Dolphins.

The Jets released their injury report and game statuses Friday for their Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Two players — QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Jason Brownlee — are listed as out. With Rodgers practicing, he has been listed on the injury report but has yet to be activated from injured reserve. The Jets have until Wednesday to do so.

Rodgers was listed as a limited participant Thursday and Friday and was even starting to push his practice habits a little. Brownlee did not practice all week with an ankle injury.

Offensive tackle Carter Warren is doubtful for Sunday with a hip injury. After missing Week 14 against the Houston Texans, Warren did not practice all week, likely causing him to miss another game. Max Mitchell would get another start at right tackle if Warren cannot go…if Mitchell plays himself. Mitchell is questionable with a neck injury. He was limited all week.

Also listed as questionable for the Jets: DE John Franklin-Myers (ankle), FB Nick Bawden (knee), C Joe Tippmann (shoulder) and DE Will McDonald (knee). Franklin-Myers, Bawden and Tippmann all practiced in full Friday while McDonald was a late add Friday with a knee injury and did not practice.

Quarterback Zach Wilson was on the report with a knee injury but practiced in full all week. He is good to go for Sunday.

For the Dolphins, safety DeShon Elliott (concussion) and guard Robert Hunt (hamstring) are both out. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill highlights the questionable Dolphins as he did not practice all week with an ankle injury.

Also listed as questionable for the Dolphins: RB De’Von Achane (toe), OT Terron Armstead (knee/ankle), OL Liam Eichenberg (calf), FS Jevon Holland (knees), CB Xavien Howard (hip), OT Austin Jackson (oblique) and OLB Andrew Van Ginkel (oblique). All were listed as limited participants Friday.

A Badger is top among NFL rookies in this stat

A Badger is top among NFL rookies in this stat

A number of Badger rookies have been showing out, but perhaps none more than offensive lineman Joe Tippmann. The Jets’ starting center has been not only one of the best rookies in the league, but one of the best centers in the league. Wisconsin knows a thing or two about this position, and Tippmann is carrying the legacy.

According to Pro Football Focus, Tippmann has a 98.4 pass blocking efficiency number. That number is the best among all NFL rookies.

Expect the Badger offensive lineman to not only finish the year strong, but be a consistent piece of the New York Jets offense for years to come.

3 best Jets rookies from first half of season

Who are your picks for the best rookies so far this season?

The Jets have been praised for their big hits in the 2022 NFL Draft. They drafted the Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year in WR Garrett Wilson and CB Sauce Gardner. They also traded back into the first round to select Jermaine Johnson, who has been incredible in 2023, along with RB Breece Hall in the second round and DL Micheal Carter in the fourth.

But what about 2023? How have some of their rookies fared this season? Are there any standouts this time around? Here, we’ll take a look at some of the top rookies for the Jets in the first half of the 2023 NFL season.

Joe Tippmann among Jets returning to practice Thursday

Joe Tippmann among Jets returning to practice Thursday

The Jets returned to the practice field Thursday to begin preparations for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. One name of note that is back in action is Joe Tippmann, who is working his way back from the quad injury he suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.

Tippmann was a limited participant in practice, but it is still a good sign that he was able to practice for the first time since the injury.

Wide receivers Randall Cobb and Irvin Charles, who both missed last week against the Giants, were full participants Thursday, as was Duane Brown, who had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday after being on injured reserve with a hip injury.

One new name on the injury report is left guard Laken Tomlinson, who wad limited Thursday with a hamstring injury. Mekhi Becton (knee) and Xavier Gipson (ankle) were also limited to start the week.

One player, linebacker Chazz Surratt, did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.

Jets placing Connor McGovern, Wes Schweitzer on injured reserve

The Jets are placing Connor McGovern and Wes Schweitzer on injured reserve.

The injury bug hit the Jets hard on Sunday, particularly on the offensive line. A pair of interior offensive linemen are heading to injured reserve.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Monday that center Connor McGovern (knee) and guard Wes Schweitzer (calf) are both being placed on injured reserve. Both will miss at least the next four games. They can return for New York’s Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Saleh said both have a chance to return this season. On McGovern, he said McGovern isn’t “out of the woods” in regards to whether he needs surgery or not but it’s a best-case scenario based on how the injury initially seemed on Sunday.

Fortunately for the Jets, Joe Tippmann may be back this week, as well as tackle Duane Brown. The Jets will decide over the next few days on those two. Brown is still on injured reserve and the team has yet to open his practice window.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Saleh confirmed that defensive tackle Al Woods is done for the season with an Achilles injury.

Joe Tippmann misses practice Wednesday, Jets to see how he feels Thursday

Joe Tippmann misses practice Wednesday, Jets to see how he feels Thursday

Joe Tippmann is still dealing with the quad injury he suffered in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles and was held out of practice Wednesday as the team returned from their bye week and began work for Week 8 against the New York Giants.

Head coach Robert Saleh wouldn’t commit yet on whether Tippmann will return to practice Thursday.

“He is a quick healer, so both statements can be true,” Saleh said Wednesday. “I’m always hopeful he could be available, but we’ll see. Tomorrow, we’ll see how he feels and whether or not we can get him in practice.”

It is a good sign overall that Saleh isn’t completely ruling out Tippmann yet, considering the injury seemed worse when it initially happened. His even having a chance to play Sunday is a win for the Jets.

If Tippmann cannot go on Sunday, Wes Schweitzer will get the start at right guard.

Wide receiver Randall Cobb (shoulder) was the only other active Jets player who did not practice Wednesday.

Joe Tippmann could be out a while with thigh injury

Joe Tippmann could be out a while with thigh injury

The Jets scored a huge victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 but may have lost another offensive lineman.

Rookie Joe Tippmann, who was inserted into the starting lineup a couple of weeks ago at right guard, suffered a thigh injury during the game Sunday and could be out a while, per head coach Robert Saleh.

Tippmann will get an MRI on Monday to determine the severity. It could potentially be a significant injury. With Tippmann out, Wes Schweitzer stepped in at right guard. As a result, the Jets were left without any backup interior offensive linemen on Sunday. The only other backup linemen were tackles Billy Turner and Carter Warren.

The Jets also have Xavier Newman and Jason Poe on the practice squad.

Tippmann was starting to hit his stride after getting into the starting lineup after the Jets moved Mekhi Becton to left tackle and Alijah Vera-Tucker to right tackle. With Tippmann out, it was Schweitzer next to Max Mitchell on the right side.

6 Jets to watch in Week 4 vs. Chiefs

Here are six players to watch from the Jets in their Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.

The New York Jets are in one of the primetime slots again in Week 4, hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Defeating the reigning Super Bowl champions will be easier said than done, especially if Zach Wilson continues to struggle at the quarterback position.

The Chiefs enter Sunday’s matchup having beaten the Chicago Bears 41-10 in Week 3 to improve to 2-1. Meanwhile, the Jets fell to 1-2 on the season after losing 15-10 to the New England Patriots last week as they’ve been outscored 45-20 since Week 1.

With the Jets desperately trying to get back into the win column, here are six players to watch on Sunday night versus the Chiefs.
