Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Practices in full Thursday
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (groin) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Fitzpatrick appears set to return to his starting safety role after missing the last two games due to his groin injury. The fact Fitzpatrick will seemingly be available to slot in alongside Dane Belton will help the Jets' quest to slow down an aggressive Ben Johnson offense at Soldier Field in the Week 4 matchup against the Bears on Sunday.

Jets' Kingsley Enagbare: Not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Enagbare (knee) was unable to participate in practice Thursday.
Enagbare opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he now appears to be trending in the wrong direction for the Week 4 after not participating Thursday. The 26-year-old played his usual snap count in Week 3 (38), so it's unclear when the injury occurred. If Enagbare misses practice again Friday, he could be in danger of missing the Jets' Week 4 game versus the Bears on Sunday.

Jets' Demario Davis: Jets' leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Davis recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 31-24 loss at Detroit.
Davis again led Jets linebackers in snaps in Week 3, but it was his first time registering a double-digit tackle total since Week 12 of the 2025 season. With that said, he remains solidly on the IDP radar in most formats going into a Week 4 matchup against a run-first Chicago offense.

Coach Aaron Glenn said Fitzpatrick (groin) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
After missing back-to-back games in Weeks 2 and 3, Fitzpatrick has a decent shot at returning for Sunday's game against the Bears. Dane Belton and Andre Cisco have been manning the safety spots for the Jets with Fitzpatrick sidelined.

Rotowire
Stiggers (hand) returned to Sunday's game versus the Lions, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Exits game with hand injury
Rotowire
Stiggers (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Stiggers sustained the injury early in the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. He's worked solely on special teams so far this season, but his absence thins the Jets' depth in the secondary.

Jets' Nahshon Wright: Healthy scratch for Week 3
Rotowire
Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Wright has been limited to special-teams work through the first two games of the regular season, and he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 3 while rookie D'Angelo Ponds suits up. Wright's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 4, though there doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the sixth-year pro.

Rotowire
Ossai (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ossai was limited in the Jets' Wednesday and Thursday practices before upgrading to a full participant in Friday's session. The defensive end could suit up for his 2026 debut in Sunday's game against the Lions as a rotational edge rusher.

Mauigoa suffered the quadriceps injury in the overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2. It's unknown when he will be back on the field. However, Mauigoa has only seen action on special teams this season, so his absence won't impact things too much.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Out again in Week 3
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus Detroit, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fitzpatrick was injured in the 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1. He didn't play in the 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2, so he will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest. The veteran's next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 4 in Chicago. In the meantime, Andre Cisco is in line to make his second straight start.

Rotowire
Mauigoa (quadriceps) missed practice for the second day in a row Thursday.

Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Fitzpatrick missed the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers with a groin injury that he is week-to-week with. The starting free safety has now missed four consecutive practices, and there is no sign the 29-year-old will return to the field this week. If Fitzpatrick must miss another game, Andre Cisco will likely be the starting free safety for the second consecutive game Sunday against the Lions.

Jets' Joseph Ossai: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ossai (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ossai was unable to play in the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday due to a persistent foot injury. The defensive end was unable to suit up for a practice in Week 2, which renders his start to Week 3 prep a somewhat positive development. Ossai will need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid any injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Lions.

Jets' David Onyemata: Expected to miss more than four games
Rotowire
Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Onyemata was injured during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, and while that means he will miss at least four games, he is anticipated to be out longer, though head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back before the end of the season. While Onyemata is out of commission, Darrell Jackson, Jowon Briggs, T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips will presumably see more snaps in each game moving ahead.

Davis was one of six Jets players to play all 59 defensive snaps during Sunday's OT loss. The veteran linebacker is up to 12 total tackles through two games and on pace to crack 100 tackles for a 10th straight year and the 13th time in his NFL career. He should stay busy Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday.
