Here are the Jets inactives for today’s game against the Rams:

QB Greg McElroy
DT Damon Harrison
G Caleb Schlauderaff
TE Hayden Smith
OLB Marcus Dowtin
G Hayworth Hicks

You will notice that the Jets only have 6 inactives today. No that is not a mistake, the Jets only have 52 guys on the active roster, so there are only 6 necessary inactives.

Some notables that are active today include Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight. The Jets need all the depth they can get on offense, and having these two guys available will be great help.

Also active for today’s game is newly acquired running back Kahlil Bell. He will be wearing #21, the same number that Jonathan Grimes and LaDainian Tomlinson wore for the team. There is no reason not to expect Bell to share in the workload on offense this week, as we all know that Greene hasn’t lit things up, and Powell and McKnight won’t be at full strength coming off of their injuries. Expect Bell to take some carries today.

Let’s go Jets!

This just in directly from the Jets, some good news and some bad news.

The bad news first, Marcus Dowtin will not travel with the team to St. Louis and is out on Sunday.  This was a coaches decision as Marcus is not injured.  The emgerence of Ricky Sapp likely played a part of this move.

But, the good news is, Dowtin is the only player not travelling with the team to St. Louis. That means both Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight are both going with the team for tomorrow’s game. We obviously don’t have either of their official statuses yet, but heading to the game with the team is clearly a good sign. With a lack of real depth at the position, and struggling for production, the Jets could use all of the healthy bodies they can get at running back.

McKnight has a huge role in the kick return game as we all know, so his return, should it be tomorrow, will help a great deal on special teams.

It’s Friday, so here is your final injury report for the week, first for the Jets:

QUESTIONABLE-WR Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring), RB Joe McKnight (ankle), DT Sione Pouha (back, ankle), RB Bilal Powell (concussion), LB Bart Scott (toe)

Jeremy Kerley was a new addition to this list, which is alarming as he did not practice today. The last thing the Jets need is a wide receiver to miss the game. Rex Ryan is optimistic, however, that everyone on the questionable list will play.

PROBABLE-TE Jeff Cumberland (wrist), DT Mike Devito (finger), DT Kenrick Ellis (knee), WR Edmond Gates (shoulder), DT Damon Harrison (thumb), WR Stephen Hill (illness), S LaRon Landry (heel), C Nick Mangold (ankle, thumb), G Brandon Moore (hip), LB Calvin Pace (shoulder), QB Mark Sanchez (back), G Matt Slauson (knee), S Eric Smith (knee), QB Tim Tebow (ribs)

Nothing to worry about here, everyone here should play.

Now for the Rams:

QUESTIONABLE-

LB Mario Haggan (thigh), WR Austin Pettis (toe), DE Eugene Sims (knee), S Darian Stewart (knee)

There you have it, your final updates on the injuries for the game, well at least until Sunday and the inactives report.
