Jets' final injury report paints a murky picture of who will play vs. Bills

The New York Jets released their final injury report ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, and it seems like there are going to be a lot of game time decisions that people will have to keep their eyes peeled for on Sunday morning.

New York is listing eight players as questionable against Buffalo, and ruling out only linebacker Trevin Wallace ahead of the divisional matchup. Everybody else is a true 50-50 shot to suit up at MetLife Stadium.

All three of the Jets' starting wide receivers, Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and Omar Cooper Jr., are questionable. Wilson and Cooper have been iffy all week, but Mitchell was a new addition on Friday. He was a limited participant with what was listed as a knee injury.

On the defensive side of things, Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Harrison Phillips, Nahshon Wright, and Joseph Ossai are all questionable as well. We'll see who ends up playing against Buffalo.

Which New York Jets will play vs. Buffalo Bills?

The only way the Jets are going to have a chance to beat the Bills on Sunday is if they have their full array of offensive weaponry, and with the current question marks surrounding New York's top three playmakers, it comes across as a major concern.

Wilson and Cooper are more than likely to play. They've been spotted practicing all week long, and in terms of Wilson specifically, head coach Aaron Glenn sounded confident that he would clear concussion protocol during his Friday media availability.

"Garrett still has one more step to go through before he's cleared, and I see that happening."

Mitchell, on the other hand, is slightly more concerning. The last time he popped up on the injury report late in the week, he ended up missing the next four games, which was a massive hit to the Jets' offense. Hopefully this knee isn't as serious as his previous finger injury.

We may also get our first glimpse of 2026 seventh-round draft pick VJ Payne, who logged three straight days of full practice. He may end up finding himself on the field for some special teams snaps, which should only benefit a pretty awful unit.

We'll see if Harrison Phillips ends up playing on Sunday. He was a Did Not Participate on Wednesday and Thursday, but ended up fully practicing on Friday. Hopefully, he doesn't take many reps away from rookie defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr.
