New York Jets place select injured pair as inactive against Minnesota Vikings

The New York Jets had already stated in their latest injury report before Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London that offensive tackle Morgan Moses is out.

Moses was inactive during the game, but so was linebacker CJ Mosley, who will be out for the third straight game.

They were among the inactive players the Jets (2-2) had lined up before their showdown in London against the Vikings.

New York's other inactive players were offensive lineman Max Mitchell, running back Israel Abanikanda, edge rusher Braiden McGregor, wide receiver Malachi Corey and cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse.

On Saturday, the Jets made another move, signing quarterback Adrian Martinez and linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball from the practice squad.

Mosley made progress this week in treating the toe injury that has plagued him since Week 2 against Tennessee. He was a limited participant in all three of the Jets' practices to prepare for the Vikings (4-0). In contrast, he never participated in any practices leading up to New York's Week 4 contest against Denver.

But that wasn't enough to put him in a position where the Jets could get him back on the field. Jamien Sherwood once again took his place in the lineup.

Both sides have expressed a desire not to push Mosley back and risk re-injuring his toe.

“If I can go out and get 100%, I will definitely play,” he said. “But (I) just stay realistic. Like I said, I don't want to overdo it and make it out there and do (something) crazy.

He was listed as doubtful on the final injury report.

Moses is also making progress from the knee injury he sustained two weeks ago. After not training at all last week, he took part in limited practice this week. The Jets expected him to miss two games, and Sunday will be the second.

Olu Fashanu is expected to start at right tackle.

For Minnesota, tight end TJ Hockenson was declared out Friday but was not listed as inactive. He appeared on the injury report for the first time on Friday with a knee injury. Minnesota opened its practice window this week. The Jets did something similar with defensive lineman Leki Fotu, who is also not active.

The other inactive Vikings were wide receiver Trishton Jackson, quarterback Brett Rypien, cornerback Fabian Moreau, cornerback Dwight McGlothern, defensive lineman Levi Drake Rodriguez, defensive lineman Jalen Redmond and offensive tackle Walter Rouse.
