In preparation for Thursday's NFL game, the New York Jets have announced that tight end Jeremy Ruckert, sidelined with a concussion, will not play, and quarterback Zach Wilson is still in concussion protocol, leaving his status for the game uncertain. Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein did not practice due to quad soreness, and his availability is in question. The Cleveland Browns are dealing with their own injury woes, as kicker Dustin Hopkins, who did not practice due to a left hamstring injury, has been ruled week-to-week. Punter Corey Bojorquez, who also did not practice after sustaining a left quad injury while kicking off against the Texans, may be replaced by Matt Haack, who was signed to the practice squad and had a 44.8 gross average punting for Indianapolis last year. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that Bojorquez's ability to play is still uncertain. Additionally, quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is heading to injured reserve with a hip injury, and Riley Patterson will take over kicking duties starting Thursday. The Jets also reported that Aaron Rodgers did not practice due to an Achilles issue, offensive lineman Duane Brown is out with a back problem, and running back Israel Abanikanda was limited in practice. Running back Chris Rodriguez is scheduled to have an MRI.
