The Jets’ injury list keeps getting longer, including what ails quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers now has a hamstring injury in addition to issues with his knee and ankle that he is dealing with.
“It is new,” Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said of the hamstring. “It’s something that kind of flared up this past game. They’re going to assess it all week long. He’s going to treat his butt off like he always does. Don’t anticipate this affecting him playing.”
Rodgers looked reluctant to run at times on Sunday night in Pittsburgh and the hamstring could be why. Ulbrich said Rodgers would be limited in practice Wednesday.
The Jets are not having a full practice on Wednesday, partly because their injury list is so long right now.
They will do positional drills and then have a walkthrough as they prepare for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.
Guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle), safety Tony Adams (hamstring), safety Ashtyn Davis (concussion) and defensive tackle Leki Fotu (knee) are not practicing at all Wednesday.
The list of limited players is: Rodgers, RT Morgan Moses (knee), WR Allen Lazard (chest), LB Quincy Williams (neck), DE Will McDonald (shoulder) and CB Michael Carter II (back).
The good injury news is Carter being back at practice and D.J. Reed practicing fully on Wednesday after missing last week with a groin injury.
So, it looks like the Jets will have their starting cornerbacks but be missing their starting safeties on Sunday.
The team also opened the 21-day practice window for TE Kenny Yeboah, who has missed the entire season with an abdomen injury. OL Xavier Newman was placed on injured reserve after suffering a scary neck injury in Pittsburgh.
