Jets' Tyler Conklin: Limited due to hamstring Wednesday

Conklin was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Soft-tissue injuries can be tricky to navigate, but it's encouraging that Conklin was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. If Conklin can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid taking a designation into Sunday's home game against the Texans. With C.J. Uzomah (knee) going on injured reserve Wednesday, the Jets' depth chart at tight end behind Conklin consists of Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah (hamstring), the latter of whom was reinstated from IR in a corresponding move.
