Instant analysis as Jets lose fifth straight, likely end any chance of Aaron Rodgers return

Instant analysis as Jets lose fifth straight, likely end any chance of Aaron Rodgers return

Yet another ugly offensive performance for the New York Jets as they fail to find the end zone for the third time in the last five games. Just two field goals and a safety lit up the scoreboard for New York in their 13-8 loss in Week 13 to the Atlanta Falcons. That’s five straight losses for the Jets as they fall to 4-8 and likely ended any chance of quarterback Aaron Rodgers returning this season, let alone any hopes of a playoff spot.

Speaking of quarterbacks, the Jets made another in-game switch as Tim Boyle was benched in favor of Trevor Siemian, marking the third straight season the Jets have had four quarterbacks see action in a game.

Let’s run through some quick notes as the season is all but lost with five games left.

Jets expected to have Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook vs. Falcons

The Jets are expected to have running backs Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The Jets are expected to have running backs Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Both backs were listed as questionable — Hall with a hamstring; Cook with a shoulder — but both improved their practice status Friday — Cook went from limited to full; Cook from no practice to limited — suggesting a positive direction.

The Jets (4-7) face a Falcons defense that is allowing over 110 rushing yards per game, so having their top two backs will be key. Israel Abanikanda (illness) was also listed as questionable but did practice in a limited capacity Friday.

Jets activate Wes Schweitzer, Justin Hardee from injured reserve

The Jets announced Saturday they have activated offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer and defensive back/special-teamer Justin Hardee.

The Jets are getting two key pieces back from injured reserve for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. The team announced Saturday they have activated offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer and defensive back/special-teamer Justin Hardee.

Schweitzer suffered a calf injury in Week 8 against the New York Giants. He’ll return to the starting lineup at right guard. Xavier Newman and Chris Glaser started at right guard during his absence. Hardee landed on IR after the Week 5 win in Denver with a hamstring injury. His return will be a boost on special teams, where Hardee earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2022.

To make room, the Jets released safety Adrian Amos as well as Newman, who could very well return to the practice squad. The Jets are elevating offensive lineman Jake Hanson and defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey from the practice squad for Sunday.
