Jets QB Fitzpatrick questionable for Rams’ game

But now Fitzpatrick is dealing with a sprained left knee that has his status for Sunday uncertain, although he has practiced on a limited basis. After the game Head Coach Todd Bowles would only state that it was a coach’s decision, however logic clearly suggested it was a disciplinary issue.

Richardson said he was late to just one meeting – last Friday, when he overslept and arrived 20 minutes late – and denied he had a pattern of non-punctuality. Fitzpatrick was limited at practice again on Friday, as he had been all week due to the sprained MCL in his left knee.

“Those actions are unacceptable and I definitely feel as a leader on this team I definitely need to do better”, Wilkerson said. Forte could have had a lot more last week at Miami, when he got just 12 carries, but NY split the workload between him and Bilal Powell.

If Fitzpatrick can’t play, then Bryce Petty, the second-year man out of Baylor who served as his backup against the Dolphins, will get the nod as the starter. “I mean, there’s no sideways to this guy”, Jets’ offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said about Donald told reporters.

Bowles is not on the hot seat as of right now, but if these problems persist in year three of his era, we might be having a different conversation.

You have to start wondering if this isn’t about Fitzpatrick, but about Petty.

In all likelihood, Bryce Petty and Jared Goff – two young draft picks with potential – will not be playing in the near future.

Petty has come a long way from worrying about making the team at all to missing more than a month with a right shoulder injury suffered in the preseason finale to being on the precipice of a start. Also ruled out were linebackers Bruce Carter (quadriceps) and Josh Martin (concussion), cornerback Marcus Williams (ankle) and tight end Kellen Davis (elbow).

Defensive end Sheldon Richardson #91 of the New York Jets reacts in the first quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers during a game at MetLife Stadium on November 9, 2014 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The following season, he received his first Pro Bowl bid, after posting 67 total tackles and a career-high 8.0 sacks. For sure. I’m just sitting around.

Mangold has a reputation of being a tough competitor who has played through various injuries and returned from ailments that appeared initially to possibly sideline him for some time.

“It was big for me”, he said. Walsh has missed four of his 16 field-goal attempts this year for a 75 percent conversion rate that ranks 24th in the league.

Running back Matt Forte has rebounded from a string of poor performances to rush for 274 yards in the past three weeks. If fully healthy, Smith could provide a speedy downfield threat for the Jets. “I’ve still got to see him work out Sunday. We’re obviously disappointed [with Sunday], but we’re right back at watching film, trying to see what we did wrong, fix mistakes, and build off of what we did right”, said Marshall. Still, Forte ranks seventh in the National Football League with 634 yards rushing. And if you’re the Broncos or any another suitor, it might make the most sense to wait out the year and look to bring him in next offseason. Fisher also complimented Bowles’ defense saying they’re complicated, can pressure the quarterback and can do anything they want to do. I’m not very good at listening to doctors. He has enough quickness to play some pass rusher and possibly a little bit at outside linebacker.
