The Jets have ruled the following players inactive for Sunday's divisional clash against the Patriots in Week 16: T.J. Barnes, Dakota Dozier, Jaiquawn Jarrett, Wesley Johnson, Rontez Miles, Walt Powell and Matt Simms.

The New York Jets listed defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (toe), guard Dakota Dozier, offensive lineman Wesley Johnson, wide receiver Walt Powell, defensive back Josh Thomas, quarterback Matt Simms and cornerback Antonio Allen as inactive Sunday at Tennessee.
