It's not uncommon to see NFL teams dealing with a host of injuries at this point in the season and the NY Jets are no different. The Jets have given a whopping 10 different players injury designations on their final injury report for Week 17.
Among the more notable players to monitor is wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams is listed as questionable with a hip injury for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills but seems to be trending in the right direction.
The six-time Pro Bowler returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after missing practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. The safe bet as of now is to assume Adams will play this weekend.
Other key Jets players such as Sauce Gardner (hamstring), Quinnen Williams (hamstring), Michael Carter II (back), Haason Reddick (neck), and Morgan Moses (knee) are all listed as questionable as well. Here's a look at the full final injury report.

The Jets have only ruled out one player for Week 17, defensive tackle Leki Fotu. Fotu has been designated to return from the injured reserve but will miss another week with his knee injury. The Jets have one more week to activate Fotu ahead of their season finale in Week 18.
Starting safety Tony Adams is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Adams was a full participant in practice on Friday and should be in line to play this Sunday.
Michael Carter II could be in line to return this week against the Bills after missing last Sunday's game with a back injury. Carter has been nursing a back injury for most of the season and was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday.
Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, both dealing with hamstring injuries, figure to be game-time decisions on Sunday. Gardner returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday while Williams was a limited participant all week.
Backup defensive end Braiden McGregor is questionable with an ankle injury but was a full participant on Friday and should be good to go. The same is true for Haason Reddick, who practiced fully on Friday despite a neck injury.
Right tackle Morgan Moses is still battling a knee injury but is expected to play against the Bills. Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) and John Simpson (calf) are both off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game.
Greg Zuerlein is listed as questionable but is expected to make his return to the lineup this week. The Jets will activate Zuerlein from IR ahead of Sunday's game, likely releasing Anders Carlson to make room.
Jets fans and fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Davante Adams' availability for Week 17, but as of now, expect him to be in the lineup come Sunday.
