Michael Carter II - Limited to open Week 8 prep Carter (back) was a limited participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Carter has been sidelined for the last three games due to a back injury he sustained during pregame warmups before the Jets' Week 5 contest against the Vikings in London. Wednesday is the first time since the injury that Carter has practiced, which is a step in the right direction for the 2021 fifth-round pick. Carter's practice participation over the next two days will provide a better idea of whether he'll return for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

D.J. Reed - Moves past groin injury Reed (groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Reed suffered a groin injury in Week 6 against the Bills, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Steelers. Reed's ability to practice in full Wednesday, even in a walkthrough, is a good sign that his absence will be limited to just one game. Barring any setback, the Jets should be with their top two corners in Reed and Sauce Gardner for Sunday's AFC East showdown against Drake Maye and the struggling Patriots on Sunday.

Allen Lazard - DNP Wednesday due to chest Lazard (chest) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This is a new injury for Lazard, who had four catches for 58 yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers as former Packers teammate Davante Adams made his Jets debut. Even if Lazard returns to practice and avoids an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he's likely to operate as a distant No. 3 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Xavier Newman - Going to IR The Jets placed Newman (neck) on their injured reserve list Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact Newman left Sunday's game at Pittsburgh early on a spine board, so it's not totally surprising that he'll have to miss the Jets' next four games. In his absence, Jake Hanson becomes the team's top bench piece on the interior of the offensive line.

Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich anticipates Haason Reddick playing Sunday against Patriots
Haason Reddick’s debut with the New York Jets could come as soon as Sunday against the New England PatriotsOCTOBER 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Haason Reddick - Plans to suit up Sunday Coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that he "anticipates" Reddick will play in Week 8 at New England, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Impact Reddick hadn't practiced with the team up until this week, but all signs point to his being active Sunday for his first game in 2024. He projects to start at defensive end opposite Will McDonald and give a boost to an already-stout pass defense.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Tony Adams - Logs DNP Adams (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact Adams suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Steelers and his absence from practice Wednesday will leave his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots in question. With Ashtyn Davis (concussion) also questionable, the Jets could be without both of their starting safeties for the matchup.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Ashtyn Davis - Still sidelined Davis (concussion) will not practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact Davis will need to pass through the league's five-step protocols before returning to play, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots firmly in question. Assuming the California product is unable to suit up, Jalen Mills would be in line to start at strong safety.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Yeboah - Moves closer to return Yeboah (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Impact Yeboah has been out of action since suffering the injury during the Jets' final preseason contest. The Ole Miss product will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be placed on the active roster, but he could return as soon as Sunday against the Patriots.

Jets' Rodgers dealing with ailing hamstring on top of knee issue but will play at Patriots
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury on top of a knee issue but is expected to play Sunday at New EnglandOCTOBER 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Aaron Rodgers - Dealing with new hamstring injury Rodgers will be limited in practice Wednesday due to hamstring, knee and ankle injuries, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots isn't expected to be impacted,...
Impact Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, that Rodgers' hamstring "flared up" during last Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers, noting that the injury may have hampered to veteran quarterback's ability to scramble on some plays. New York is hosting a walk-through practice Wednesday, so Rodgers' ability, or lack thereof, to practice Thursday and Friday will be more telling as to his health for Week 8. Rodgers and the 2-5 Jets are staring down a must-win divisional matchup against 1-6 Patriots on the road Sunday.

Will McDonald IV - Fills stat sheet in loss McDonald finished with three tackles (three solo), including a tackle for a loss and 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The defensive end also played on 65 percent of the defensive snaps. McDonald has 15 tackles (12 solo), including 8.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed in seven games this season. The 2023 first-round pick recorded just 14 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, in 15 games as a rookie.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Jamien Sherwood - Leads Jets in tackles yet again Sherwood recorded nine tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The starting linebacker also led New York in tackles in the previous two games with 13 and 12, respectively. Sherwood now has 62 tackles (37 solo) on the year, tied with Washington's Bobby Wagner for ninth most in the league. The 2021 fifth-round pick has already exceeded his previous career high of 46 stops in a season.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Mills - Active in loss Mills recorded eight tackles (five solo), including a tackle for a loss, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The safety who signed with the Jets' practice squad in September was playing in place of Chuck Clark (ankle) and Ashtyn Davis (head). Mills played in 17 regular-season games and on 443 defensive snaps for the Patriots in 2023, finishing with 45 tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. Clark is on IR and can't return until Week 11 at the earliest, though Davis might come back as early as next week.
