Team news: New York Jets | Page 1

Jets QB Zach Wilson was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a head injury.

The key point here is that the Jets say Wilson is not in concussion protocol. Initially, the team said Wilson had a case of dehydration. This is certainly a weird story but the bottom line is the Jets' season is coming to an end as they were down 24-0 at the half and showed no signs of life. Trevor Siemian is now in at quarterback. You can also probably forget about seeing Aaron Rodgers again this season.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is likely to be medically cleared to play next week.

Schefter notes that being cleared to play doesn't necessarily mean Rodgers will play in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders. The team and Rodgers will discuss him playing. The Jets opened Rodgers' 21-day practice window on November 29. They have until December 20 to activate him to the 53-man roster, otherwise, he is out for the season.

If the Jets beat the Dolphins Sunday, there will be a lot of talk of Rodgers making his return Christmas Eve with the Jets still in the playoff hunt.

Is it possible a breakup between the Jets and Zach Wilson is already set in stone?

Jets head coach Robert Saleh was asked Monday about a weekend report by the Deseret News, Wilson’s hometown newspaper in Utah, that said the team told the 24-year-old quarterback he’ll be traded during the offseason, with Wilson and Saleh agreeing to part ways when the former No. 2 overall pick was benched last month.

Saleh did not deny the report in his response.

“My conversations with [Wilson] are to do everything he can to get ready to play a football game,” Saleh said Monday. “As far as all that other stuff is concerned, those are things I will leave for Joe [Douglas].”

There is a link to the story in this piece. The report makes sense, especially after Wilson was benched and an Athletic report said Wilson was reluctant to go back on the field after the team went with Tim Boyle but eventually cut him. The Post story said Rodgers, who tore his Achilles in Week 1, is expected to return to the Jets next season. Wilson could probably use a fresh start on another team but it may not be a starting role.

Breece Hall and John Franklin-Myers, both with ankle injuries, are not practicing. They’re in the rehab area. This could be a Dalvin Cook week.

Cook already had an extended workload last week and came away with his biggest output of the year -35 yards rushing- to go along with 11 yards receiving. Cook has obviously lost a step from his glory days, but would be a low-end RB2 if Hall misses this upcoming game.

Zach Wilson -- benched in each of the past two seasons, most recently in late November in favor of Tim Boyle, who was released yesterday -- has been named the Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's game vs. the Texans.

Wilson should be avoided in all fantasy formats wherever possible, no matter how deep the league is. Garrett Wilson should receive a small boost, but still remains a WR2.

Tommy DeVito will get another start at quarterback for the Giants.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll made the announcement about the team’s plans for Week 14 on Tuesday. The story went on to say DeVito has started the last three games, but there was some question about who would get the nod for Monday night against the Packers because Taylor has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Tim Boyle, the No. 3 quarterback who became the starter after the Jets benched Zach Wilson, will be released by the Jets, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Jets also will be signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the Seattle practice squad.

There is no update on who the Jets plan to start this week. There are conflicting reports about the team wanting to go back to Wilson but Wilson being reluctant to play. With Boyle out of the picture and Rypien perhaps needing more time to get up to speed, it could mean Siemian gets the nob. We'll likely know more by later in the week, but it probably goes without saying no one is really a good option outside of desperation plays in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues and dynasty leagues.

Robert Saleh says he's not ready to name the Jets' starting QB for Week 14, and going back to Zach Wilson is among the options.

Needless to say, this situation is a bit of a mess. Pelissero shared a post from Andrew Siciliano where Saleh said, "Let's be clear, if [Wilson] were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here." But from Wilson's standpoint, who could blame him if there was any truth to the story from The Athletic. Be sure to monitor the situation, but whoever is named the starter would only have deeper league, two QB or superflex value.

The Jets want to make a switch at QB. The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take over, but he is reluctant to stepping back in.

Russini went on to say the team is discussing the next step to take. With Wilson not wanting to go back in, and the team not seeing much more from Boyle or Siemian this past week, the Jets may need to hit the waiver wire to find their next QB. The Jets sit at 4-8, and while they are still alive, they need to win-out and find a lot of help along the way.

Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor is getting closer to a return.

Taylor is being designated for return from injured reserve and his 21-day practice window is being opened, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Taylor has been on injured reserve for the last four weeks after suffering a rib injury.

The story expects Taylor to eventually be activated. However, the team has gone 2-1 over the last three games with DeVito as the starter so it would seem to make more sense for the Giants to stick with DeVito and evaluate him for the rest of the season.
