Injury: Left Achilles tendon
Impact: Practice window now open but far from an actual full return to the field - running at 50% weight will be the next step in his recovery - if the Jets are in playoff contention in mid-December, the team may consider putting him on the active roster
Week 13 Opponent: Falcons
Team: Jets
Injury: Concussion
Impact: LP on Wednesday in a positive step towards clearance - will need to log an FP this week for a chance to play against the Lions - by our data, roughly 22% of players clear without missing a game
Week 13 Opponent: Lions
Team: Saints
Injury: Right knee
Impact: LP with his right knee MCL sprain but unlikely to suit up in W13 - reaggravation will cause team to be cautious and ensure he's 100% healthy for the stretch run
Week 13 Opponent: Commanders
Team: Dolphins
Injury: Groin
Impact: DNP Wednesday with a groin injury - would be surprising to see him suit up in W13 given his position - more than likely a multi-week issue
Week 13 Opponent: Texans
Team: Broncos
Injury: Ribs
Impact: DNP Wednesday with injured ribs he suffered in W12 against the Broncos - chance to play in W13 but would have to opt for a pain-numbing injection to be effective
Week 13 Opponent: Rams
Team: Browns
Injury: Hamstring
Impact: LP Wednesday with a hamstring injury - hopefully can ramp up his practice activity this week - this is a significant ailment for a speed back and unlikely to be 100% if he plays
Week 13 Opponent: Falcons
Team: Jets
Injury: Left thumb
Impact: By video, likely a UCL injury on his left thumb - should be back by Week 15 (in time for fantasy playoffs) - team is hopeful he misses just 2-3 weeks which is consistent with a thumb ligament tear - finished game in W12 with 91 yards and 2 TDs
Week 13 Opponent: Titans
Team: Colts
