Final NY Jets injury report for Week 10 is best-case scenario for offensive line

The NY Jets have been battling a number of injuries along their offensive line over the last few weeks, but the team is finally getting a bit healthier ahead of their Week 10 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Jets haven't had their entire starting offensive line healthy together since Week 7. Right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker has missed each of the last two games with a high-ankle sprain. Left guard John Simpson suffered a groin injury last week. Right tackle Morgan Moses is battling multiple knee injuries.

The Jets are also missing a lot of their interior offensive line depth. Veteran Wes Schweitzer has been on injured reserve for the entire season, Xavier Newman joined him on IR a couple of weeks ago, and fellow backup guard Jake Hanson was also injured this past week.

The result is a banged-up offensive line that has threatened to derail the offensive progress the Jets have made. Fortunately, the Jets received some positive injury news this week.

NY Jets injury report Week 10

The Jets have ruled out two players for Week 10, as offensive guard Jake Hanson (hamstring) and linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) will not play on Sunday. Hanson suffered the injury in the team's Week 9 win over the Houston Texans while Mosley will miss his third game in a row with his neck injury.

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters earlier this week that Mosley had a couple of procedures on his neck to see if it would "loosen up." There is still no timetable for his return.

Cornerback Michael Carter II has been battling a back injury that knocked him out of the Texans game and did not practice on Wednesday. He returned to practice on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. He's listed as questionable, but the Jets expect him to play.

Tight end Tyler Conklin popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury on Friday but was still listed as a full participant. He has a questionable injury designation for Sunday. Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah are the only other tight ends on the 53-man roster.

Right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) and linebacker Chazz Surratt (heel) are both listed as questionable and are expected to play.

Right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) returned to practice in a full capacity on Friday and, despite low optimism earlier in the week, is trending toward playing on Sunday. Rookie Olu Fashanu practiced at guard and tackle this week and would likely start in Vera-Tucker's place if he's unable to go.

Defensive tackle Solomon Thomas is listed as questionable with a knee injury and did not practice all week. The Jets signed Bruce Hector to the active roster on Friday, which doesn't bode well for Thomas's chances of playing.

Left guard John Simpson (groin), safety Tony Adams (hamstring), and quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, hamstring) are off the injury report and do not have an injury designation for Week 10.

The Jets are getting healthier ahead of this Sunday's game. The extra rest from last week's Thursday night game seems to have provided a major boost to the health of the roster.
