The Jets’ Week 6 trip to New England comes with a full injury watch, but the biggest absentee list is already clear.
New York has ruled out four players for Sunday’s game: running back Breece Hall (quad), wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger), left guard Dylan Parham (knee), and outside linebacker Joseph Ossai (ankle).
The Jets also have three players carrying questionable designations into the matchup, though the expectation is that all three will suit up: safety Dane Belton (knee), tight end Kenyon Sadiq (concussion), and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle). Cooper Jr.’s status was specifically revealed on the injury report.
On the Patriots’ side, cornerbacks Carlton Davis III (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring) are out. New England enters with seven more players listed as questionable: WR A.J. Brown (ankle), backup offensive tackle Marcus Bryant (ankle), left tackle Will Campbell (knee), cornerback Channing Canada (hamstring), linebacker Christian Elliss (chest), running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle), and safety Craig Woodson (shoulder).
Brown was activated off injured reserve on Saturday and is expected to play. Campbell and Henderson are also trending toward taking the field after injuries a week ago that were initially expected to keep them out for multiple weeks.
The Patriots will also get star cornerback Christian Gonzalez back in Week 6 after he missed the last two games with a shoulder injury.
The Jets are chasing what would count as a major win in the Aaron Glenn era, while New England looks set to get several key pieces back for the game.

Bart Scott Just Put Geno Smiths Biggest Jets Concern On Blast
Geno Smith has done a good job protecting the football lately, going five straight games without an interception, but the deeper issue around the Jets offense has been the punishment he has absorbed. He has taken 16 sacks over his last four games, a stretch that has put him at the top of the league in yards lost to sacks and kept the conversation centered on protection rather than production.
The concern only grows with Dylan Parham still sidelined by a knee injury after missing the Jets' last three games, leaving more uncertainty up front for an offense already dealing with pressure. Bart Scott recently pointed to the idea that Smith may have to do more with his legs if the pocket keeps collapsing, which is easier said than done given how much less dynamic that part of his game has become with age.

Jets Get An Encouraging Kenyon Sadiq Sign Before Patriots Game
The Jets got a timely boost for their divisional matchup with New England when rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq moved closer to returning from a concussion. Selected 16th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq has become part of the offense this season with 14 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown, giving New York another young target as it tries to steady itself after an uneven start.
New York enters the game at 2-3 with a chance to get back to .500, and having Sadiq available would matter in a meeting that already carries the usual AFC East edge. His status had been a question after he was forced out last week, but Friday's full practice was the encouraging sign the Jets were looking for heading into Sunday. [Read more 🡒]
Patriots Suddenly Face A Romeo Doubs Question Against The Jets
New England had to deal with an early scare in Week 6 when Romeo Doubs came up with a shoulder injury in the first quarter against the Jets. He was able to walk off the field, but the path from the sideline to the medical tent and then to the locker room quickly put his status in doubt and left the Patriots waiting for more clarity.
The team has officially listed Doubs as questionable to return, though the exact nature of the injury is still unknown. For the Jets, it adds another layer to a game where every personnel change matters, especially when an opposing receiver leaves so early and forces the Patriots to reshuffle on the fly. [Read more 🡒]
