Jets' Quincy Williams: Reaches career high in sacks
Rotowire
Williams recorded seven tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Williams now has 3.5 sacks this season, marking a career high in the category through just nine games. The 29-year-old linebacker has averaged just 6.5 tackles per game, which leaves a low floor for fantasy purposes, but it should help that he has played all but one defensive snap over the last three weeks.
Sherwood recorded 15 tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Sherwood produced his seventh double-digit tackling performance of the season, as he has now accumulated 121 tackles (53 solo), eight pass breakups and 1.0 sacks through 13 games. The Jets continue to struggle overall this season, but Sherwood will continue to have remarkable upside during the fantasy playoffs.

Jets' Tyler Baron: Done for the day
Rotowire
Baron (knee) won't return to the Jets' matchup versus the Dolphins on Sunday.
Baron is done for the day after being carted off the field due to a knee injury in the first half of the game. In the 24-year-old's absence, Micheal Clemons should see an uptick in playing time.

Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Mauigoa (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.
Mauigoa cleared concussion protocol, but he's still dealing with an apparent shoulder injury. In his absence, Mykal Walker and Kobe King will likely continue to see added opportunities on defense.

Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Possible concussion
Rotowire
Mauigoa is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
The rookie fifth-rounder took a hit to the head in the second quarter of Sunday's game and is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Kobe King and Mykal Walker are the top candidates for more snaps at linebacker for as long as Mauigoa is out of the game.

Jets' Tyler Baron: Unlikely to return Sunday
Rotowire
Baron (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Baron had his knee injury briefly evaluated in the blue medical tent before being carted to the locker room. Micheal Clemons is set to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson for the rest of Sunday's game, assuming Baron doesn't return.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Good to go
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Stiggers didn't practice Wednesday while in concussion protocols but was upgraded to a limited participant Thursday before logging a full session Friday.

Jets' Tony Adams: Inactive for Week 14
Rotowire
Adams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
As expected, Adams will be inactive after being downgraded to doubtful Saturday afternoon. The safety didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday during Week 14 prep, but he logged a full session Friday, putting him on track to return to action next week. Isaiah Oliver is expected to start in Adams' place opposite Malachi Moore, but the Jets also signed Jordan Clark this week, plus they elevated Tre Brown and Nik Needham from the practice squad.

Jets' Marcelino McCrary-Ball: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.
McCrary-Ball will see his second stint on injured reserve of the season after missing Week 4 through Week 11 with a hamstring injury as well. The linebacker was active versus the Ravens in Week 12, playing 92 percent of special teams snaps. He also contributed 29 defensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps to the Jets' Week 13 victory over the Falcons before once again succumbing to hamstring issues. The 26-year-old will have to spend at least the next four weeks on IR, with his only possible remaining appearance for the 2025 regular season being Week 18 against the Bills.

Jets' Cam Jones: Remains on IR
Rotowire
Jones (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Jones was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was able to log full practice sessions throughout the week, but he will ultimately not get the nod to suit up for Sunday's game. The linebacker may not be physically ready to go despite the participation levels and will have to look toward a return for Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Jets' Jarvis Brownlee: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Jets placed Brownlee (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.
Brownlee suffered a hip injury in the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Ravens and has not been able to suit up since. The starting slot cornerback was traded to the Jets by the Titans in late September, logging 68 percent of defensive snaps or better from Week 6 through Week 11. Now subject to the four-week minimum required by injured reserve, the earliest the cornerback can return is Week 18 against the Bills. Ja'Sir Taylor will likely take over at slot cornerback in the starter's absence, with newly signed Jordan Clark backing Taylor up.

Jets' Tony Adams: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Adams logged a full practice Friday after being unable to participate in both sessions earlier in the week. The full practice was a promising sign for the safety, but the downgrade to doubtful implies the veteran suffered a setback in his recovery. If Adams is unable to suit up, Isaiah Oliver is next in line to start at free safety opposite Malachi Moore. The Jets' secondary has also received an influx of new help for Sunday's contest with the signing of Jordan Clark and the elevation from the practice squad of defensive backs Tre Brown and Nik Needham.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Questionable to play vs. Miami
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Stiggers ended the week strongly with a full practice Friday, though he'll need to pass an assessment from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play in Sunday's game. The second-year cornerback has accumulated eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery through 11 regular-season games while contributing mostly on special teams.

Jets' Tony Adams: Questionable to play vs. Miami
Rotowire
Adams (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Adams opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons. He was able to practice in full Friday to earn the questionable tag for Week 14, and his status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Isaiah Oliver would be in line to start at safety alongside Malachi Moore if Adams is not cleared to play.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Moves up to limited practice
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday.
Stiggers didn't practice Wednesday, so his upgrade to a full session Thursday is promising in regard to his potential availability for Sunday's matchup against Miami. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Stiggers is expected to suit up in that contest, per Dennis Waszak Jr. of The Associated Press, but he'll need to clear concussion protocol (if he hasn't done so already) in order to do so. Stiggers has played primarily on special teams this season.

Jets' Will McDonald: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
McDonald (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
McDonald's upgrade to full participation cleared him of injury designation, and he is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. McDonald has logged at least a 70 percent snap share in each of the last two games, though he may see extra playing time if fellow defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson (ankle) cannot suit up for Sunday's divisional clash.

Jets' Jermaine Johnson: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Johnson's limited session is an upgrade from Wednesday, when he was unable to practice. The bump up in participation suggests Johnson is trending towards playing in Sunday's divisional contest against the Dolphins. The starting defensive end will have one more practice to improve his participation and potentially dodge an injury designation for Sunday.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: No practice, still expected to play
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Stiggers maintained his role on special teams in Week 13 against Atlanta, but he appears to be in the league's concussion protocol. Even so, Stiggers is expected to suit up in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Will McDonald: Limited due to ankle issue
Rotowire
McDonald (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
McDonald logged his usual defensive snap share against Atlanta on Sunday, but he appears to have also picked up an ankle injury. It bears monitoring his practice status the remainder of the week, but at this point there's no indication he's dealing with a major issue. McDonald has 7.0 sacks on the season, though 4.0 of those came in one game (versus Cleveland in Week 10).

Jets' Jermaine Johnson: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Johnson (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson has registered 27 tackles (15 solo) and 3.0 sacks through the past seven games, so his potential absence would be a significant hit to the Jets' defense. If he can't go Sunday versus the Dolphins, Micheal Clemons and, to a lesser extent, Braiden McGregor could see increases in their respective snap counts.
