Aaron Rodgers - Not participating in walk-through Rodgers (ankle) isn't in line to participate in Wednesday's walk-through, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact That said, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noted that Rodgers is slated to play Sunday against the Steelers, with the QB thus likely to practice fully by the end of the week and avoid a Week 7 injury designation. Meanwhile, star wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) -- who the Jets obtained in a trade with the Raiders on Tuesday -- is slated to be listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through and is expected to play this weekend.

Davante Adams - Fully participating in walk-through Adams (hamstring) is slated to be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Adams, who last saw game action in Week 3, joined the Jets via a trade with the Raiders on Tuesday, and his looming full participation in Wednesday's session -- albeit a walk-through -- has the wideout trending toward playing Sunday against the Steelers. With that in mind, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed Wednesday that Adams is expected to play this weekend. Assuming no setbacks with his hamstring as the week progresses, Adams should approach Week 7 action minus an injury designation.

The most impactful in-season trades in NFL history
Trade season is upon us in the NFL, with the Jets acquiring Davante Adams and the Bills trading for Amari Cooper. Let's take a look at the b...OCTOBER 16
Quinnen Williams - Logs second sack of season Monday Williams logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.
Impact Williams got to Josh Allen midway through the fourth quarter for a sack, and the Jets were able to hold the line on the next play to force the Bills to kick a 22-yard field goal. Williams is now up to 2.0 sacks on the season, which is third-most on the Jets behind Will McDonald (7.5) and Micheal Clemons (2.5).

Ashtyn Davis - Sees increased snaps sans Clark Davis finished Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills with nine tackles (six solo).
Impact Davis got an extended run at strong safety Monday after starter Chuck Clark left in the first half due to a high-ankle sprain. Davis ended the game with the second-most tackles on the Jets behind Jamien Sherwood (13), and the former played a season-high 65 snaps on defense. With Clark on injured reserve, Davis could be the Jets' starting safety for the foreseeable future alongside free safety Tony Adams.

Jamien Sherwood - Leads Jets in tackling again Sherwood registered 13 tackles (seven solo) during Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.
Impact Sherwood has logged double-digit tackles three times this season and in each of his last two outings. He's up to 53 tackles through six regular-season games -- most on the Jets -- and his 35 solo tackles is tied with Seahawks safety Julian Love for eighth-most in the NFL.

Jets' addition of Davante Adams will help, but they've got plenty of other issues still to overcome

Davante Adams - Planning to make team debut Sunday Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact After he was able to pass a physical earlier Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. Adams had missed the Raiders' last three games with the hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing during the upcoming week without any major restrictions, the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay -- and should also help lessen the burden on emerging third-year receiver Garrett Wilson, who had been targeted on 37 percent of Rodgers' pass attempts over the past two weeks. Shortly after the trade was finalized, Schefter relays that Adams reworked his contract to lower his salary number to $3.21 million for 2024, and his deal includes voidable years in 2025 and 2026. Adams and the Jets will thus wait and see how the remainder of the season plays out before he meets with management again in the offseason to discuss his future in New York.

Chuck Clark - Goes on IR with high-ankle sprain The Jets placed Clark on injured reserve Tuesday due to an ankle injury, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Impact Clark suffered a high-ankle sprain during the first half of Monday's game against the Bills, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Clark will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, meaning the earliest he could return is Week 11 against the Colts on Nov. 17. Ashtyn Davis stepped into the strong safety role after Clark left Monday's game, and the former finished the contest with a season-high nine tackles (six solo). Davis could assume the starting role in Clark's absence while Isaiah Oliver continues to serve as the Jets' nickel corner while Michael Carter (back) remains sidelined.

Mike Williams - Avoids concussion Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Tuesday that Williams (head) cleared concussion protocol, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Ulbrich previously revealed after Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills that Williams was being evaluated for a head injury, which he suffered on the Jets' final offensive play of the game. Williams finished the night with no catches on three targets over his 31 snaps and was the subject of criticism from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who told Cimini in his postgame press conference that the receiver ran the wrong route on the Jets' final play, which resulted in an interception. Though Williams looks as though he'll be healthy enough to play in Sunday's game against the Steelers in Week 7, he could see a major drop in snaps after the Jets acquired receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) in a deal with the Raiders earlier Tuesday. With Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard seemingly locked in as the Jets' starting wideout trio and Williams offering no utility on special teams, Williams could be a candidate to get traded ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline. The 30-year-old signed a one-year, $10 million deal this offseason but has recorded just 10 receptions for 145 yards and no touchdowns on 17 targets through New York's first six games.

Bills acquire wide receiver Amari Cooper from Browns, giving QB Josh Allen a much-needed playmaker

Davante Adams - Traded to New York official The Jets acquired Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick.
Impact The two teams came to terms on a deal earlier Tuesday, but the trade didn't become official until Adams arrived in New York and passed a physical. The Jets evidently aren't too concerned about the hamstring injury that kept Adams out for each of the Raiders' last three games, and the team is hopeful that the wideout will be ready to make his team debut this Sunday in Pittsburgh, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. Adams should get an upgrade in quarterback play in going from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell in Las Vegas to Aaron Rodgers in New York, but he'll face stiffer competition for targets as he joins Garrett Wilson in the Jets receiver room. There should be enough looks to go around for both Adams and Wilson to remain productive, however, and Adams' prior experience working with Rodgers in their eight seasons together in Green Bay could give him the inside track to emerge as Option 1A among the two wideouts.
