Ossai (ankle) didn't participate in the Jets' practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ossai is unlikely to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders and is currently considered week-to-week due to an ankle injury he sustained during the Week 5 win over the Browns. Will McDonald and Nate Lynn should continue to see increased playing time in Ossai's absence.

Jets' Dane Belton: Totals nine tackles in Week 7
Rotowire
Belton registered nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

The former New York Giant has yet to miss a defensive snap this season in his first campaign as a Jet. After posting a career-high 120 stops across 17 regular-season contests last year, Belton is on pace to challenge that mark with 56 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) through seven games this year. He's also tallied three defensed passes.

Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Sherwood recorded 11 tackles (six solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 26-19 loss at New England.

He also recovered a fumble in the third quarter, and both turnovers set up Jets field goals. He profiles as a solid IDP option in many formats heading into a Week 7 tilt versus the Dolphins.
