Jets WR Corey Davis (groin) and DT Folorunso Fatukasi (foot) did not practice on Thursday and head coach Robert Saleh said that John Franklin-Myers (hip) would be limited in Friday's practice. Saleh, wearing a Rye (NY) Garnet Football t-shirt while speaking to reporters Friday, said that all three should be ready to play on Sunday against the Texans.
"[Davis] just got into the wrong spot stretching out for a ball and there was a little tweak," Saleh said. "All indications are that he's good, so we'll limit him today, get him to Sunday and he'll be ready to roll."
Saleh added: "Going through the season, a lot of these guys who have been around the league for a long time, this is about management in terms of trying to get Sundays while preparing the best you can and getting all the reps you need. Early bye week, it feels like forever, but we have seven more games including Sunday, so just making sure our guys are healthy for Sunday."
While QB Zach Wilson has been a full participant in practice all week, he's ramping up to make his first start since Week 7, Oct. 24, at New England when he sustained a PCL injury and Saleh has seen his rookie signal-caller try to re-acquaint himself back with the offense during practice. Since Wilson's injury, the team has averaged the most yards per game in the NFL and has started three different signal-callers.
He returns to the lineup with a red-hot rookie in WR Elijah Moore, who has 5 touchdowns in as many games (4 receiving, 1 rushing). The second-round pick won Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week Award for his performance against the Dolphins when he had a career-high 8 catches, 141 yards and a touchdown.
"[Wilson] is seeing a bunch of different receivers running at a different tempo than when he left, too," Saleh said. "Everyone has gotten a little bit better around him, so just him reacquainting himself with the offense with his teammates, but it's been a good week of preparation."
