The New York Jets will limp into their Week 8 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals nursing a number of injuries. The short-handed Jets are still looking for the first win of the Aaron Glenn era, and their lengthy Week 8 injury report isn't doing them any favors.
The Jets will be without quite a few regular starters this week, including their top two wide receivers in Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds. Wilson will miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury, while Reynolds was placed on IR on Saturday with a quad injury.
All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner is also set to miss this week due to a concussion he sustained in the team's Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Gardner has been playing his best football recently, but the Jets will have to manage without him against the star receiver duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
The likes of kick returner/running back Kene Nwangwu (concussion), tight end Stone Smartt (quad), and defensive tackle Jay Tufele (knee) have also all been ruled out for Week 8.
Meanwhile, running back Breece Hall (knee), tight end Mason Taylor (quad), and linebacker Quincy Williams (shoulder) are all listed as questionable entering the game. The belief is that all three should be able to suit up and play.
The Bengals have ruled out backup defensive end Cedric Johnson, who remains on IR due to a calf injury. Backup center Matt Lee (knee), defensive end Cameron Sample (knee), and cornerback Marco Wilson (hamstring) are all listed as doubtful.
Star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is questionable with a hip injury but expected to make his return after a one-week absence. His return should provide a major boost to a beaten-up Bengals defensive end room.
