This was another must win, although the Jets would not have made the playoffs anyway if they had won, but for the third straight week the Gang Green simply forgot to show up, losing to Miami, 19-17. As the final seconds of the Jets' disappointing season were ticking off the clock, WR Santonio Holmes was sitting on the bench after being taken out of the game by the Jets' coaching staff. This was a fitting end to this disastrous season that started with Super Bowl promises and ended with a 3-game losing streak and reported locker room turmoil afterwards.
There’s a lot of blame to go around for the offense’s woes this season. Mark Sanchez is usually more than willing to accept responsibility and the blame for these issues. But how much of the blame should be placed on Mark?

According to an AP report, hard-hitting S James Ihedigbo, who mostly played on special teams and is currently a free agent, will not be back with the Jets this season. Ihedigbo has been with the Jets since 2007, when they signed him as an undrafted free agent. He was a key contributor as a backup in Rex Ryan's secondary, setting a career high with 3.0 sacks last season, and was second on the Jets with 27 special teams tackles.

Earlier today we reported that the Jets made an offer to OT Damien Woody to come back for at least one more season. According to later reports, however, Woody decided to retire from the NFL, prompting the Gang Green to quickly re-sign OT Wayne Hunter. Hunter, 30, started at right tackle in the playoffs after Woody went down with an injury and performed admirably.

The New York Jets have reportedly contacted OT Damien Woody, hoping to bring him back. Woody, who earlier stated that he would play either for the Gang Green or retire, suffered a torn achilles tendon in the playoffs against the Colts. He was then placed on injured reserve and later released. The Jets don't currently have a replacement for Woody, so bringing him back would be essential for the Jets O-line to remain one of the best in the league.

According to ESPN, earlier today the New York Jets released OT Damien Woody, a 13-year veteran who spent last 3 seasons with the Jets. Woody got injured late in the season and missed 3 regular season games along with 2 games in the playoffs. OL Vlad Ducasse has been rumored to switch to Woody's position on the right side of the offensive line.
OT Damien Woody, who had arthroscopic knee surgery in December and missed the last three games of regular season, has been placed on injured reserve. Woody suffered an Achilles injury and will undergo surgery Wednesday afternoon, according to head coach Rex Ryan. OT Wayne Hunter started in place of Woody and did a pretty good job. He's also expected to start on Sunday against the Patriots.
OT Damien Woody will have arthroscopic knee surgery this week and most likely miss the remainer of the regular season. Although he could be back for the playoffs. Woody, 33, sprained right medial collateral ligament in the game against Houston and has missed the majority of practice sessions since then. He did play against Cincinnati and New England, and also started yesterday against the Dolphins but came out after two series and never returned.
The New York Jets have declared DL Jamaal Westerman, SS James Ihedigbo, TE Jeff Cumberland, QB Kellen Clemens, DL Marcus Dixon, CB Marquice Cole, TE Matthew Mulligan, OG Vlad Ducasse inactive for Week 14. QB Kellen Clemens is #3 emergency quarterback.
S James Ihedigbo, who got injured last Monday against the New England Patriots, is out for Sunday's game against Miami after missing practice all week. OT Damien Woody hasn't practiced this week either, but is expected to play. He's listed as questionable. Seven players are listed as probable, even though all of them fully participated in the practice session earlier today and are definitely expected to play.
S Jim Leonhard fractured his right tibia Friday in a freak collision in practice and was scheduled for surgery Friday night at Morristown Memorial Hospital. There was no damage to the fibula, knee or ankle, and the fracture didn't break the skin, according to the Jets. Leonhard is expected to miss the remainder of the season, although the Jets wouldn't confirm that, saying they wanted to wait until after surgery before commenting on his status.
The New York Jets' list of injured players has grown compared to last week as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns (3-5) and their former head coach Eric Mangini. CB Marquice Cole has missed all practice sessions this week and is out with a hamstring injury. LB Joshua Mauga has been limited all week and is listed as questionable. Starting left guard, OG Matt Slauson, missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury but then fully participated on Thursday and Friday. He's listed as probable. OT Damien Woody is also listed as probable due to a knee injury.

CB Darrelle Revis and C Nick Mangold made the 2009 NFL All-Pro team. LB David Harris was selected to the second NFL All-Pro team. While Tennessee RB Chris Johnson was the only player to make the first team unanimously (50 votes), Revis received 48 of 50 votes and is in the first team along with Packers CB Charles Woodson. Mangold's All-Pro selection basically means that the Jets have the best center in the entire league.

WR David Clowney (ankle), CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) and OG Brandon Moore (foot) all returned to practice this morning after missing yesterday's session. The trio, along with WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DE Shaun Ellis (knee, ankle), LB Bart Scott (knee), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) and OT Damien Woody (foot) all saw limited action in the practice session. Rex Ryan said Sheppard is in the questionable to doubtful range.

Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to hamstring and quadriceps injuries respectively. While Cotchery will most likely be ready for the Dolphins next week, Brad Smith could be out next week as well, according to head coach Rex Ryan. WR David Clowney will make his second start in a row, replacing Cotchery in the starting lineup. CB Lito Sheppard, who returned last week after missing the previous three games and reaggravated his quadriceps injury, will not play on Sunday as well.
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith, who missed Sunday's game against the Bills, returned to practice this morning. Cotchery was out with a hamstring injury, while Smith missed last game due to a quadriceps injury. CB Lito Sheppard, however, did not practice. Sheppard was back in action on Sunday after missing three previous games. He started but could not finish the game, as he seemed to have reaggravated his quadriceps injury.
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring) and WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) have not practiced this week and are listed as "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. It's pretty safe to assume that neither is going to play on Sunday. Although head coach Rex Ryan has stated that the availability of both receivers will be a game-time decision. OT Damien Woody (foot), another player who has not practiced this week, is listed as "questionable" but expected to play. DE Shaun Ellis (knee) is also listed as "questionable." He did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was limited this morning. CB Donald Strickland is also "questionable", he missed the last three games but is expected to suit up on Sunday.
It's now almost a certainty that WR Jerricho Cotchery will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury. Cotchery sat out his second day of practice in a row this morning. WR Brad Smith (quad) also did not practice for the second straight day and is doubtful to play on Sunday. WR David Clowney was getting reps with the first team along with WR Braylon Edwards. TE Dustin Keller was lining up wide in three receiver sets.

WR Jerricho Cotchery missed this morning's practice session with a hamstring injury. Cotchery, who was limited in practice yesterday, spent the entire session riding a stationary bike on the sidelines. Head coach Rex Ryan stated that Cotchery is not 100% (obviously) but has not been ruled out for the Monday Night game. Ryan added that he expects Cotchery to play. The Jets will also practice tomorrow, as they have an extra day before the Dolphins game.

Injured CB Lito Sheppard practiced for the first time in two weeks this morning. He has missed the last two games with a quadriceps injury. CB Donald Strickland, who has also missed the last two games with an ankle injury, did not practice. OT Damien Woody did not practice either and his availability for the Monday Night game is a question mark. He suffered an ankle injury against the Saints. Another player who got injured on Sunday, rookie RB Shonn Greene, participated in the practice session as well.
According to head coach Rex Ryan, there are about six spots still up for grabs on the projected 53-man roster that every NFL team must finalize by 4 PM EST this Saturday. The Jets currently have 75 players on their roster and will have to cut 20 of them to comply with the league's rules (the Jets will be allowed to carry two players over the limit due to the upcoming suspensions for LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis). Once these cuts are finalized, the Gang Green will be able to put 8 players on their practice squad.
