More on that below, first here is the injury update.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Elijah Moore is dealing with a quad, he\u2019s day-to-day. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, he\u2019s day-to-day. Tevin Coleman and Michael Carter II are in the concussion protocol. Trevon Wesco is day-to-day with an ankle. Ryan Griffin is day-to-day with an ankle. (Sheldon) is day-to-day with a knee. None of them are practicing today.<\/p>\n<p>Keelan Cole is back off the COVID list and is practicing.<\/p>\n<p>Mike White is still going through the return to play as it pertains to COVID. Kind of similar to (Denzel) Mims, because had two weeks, there\u2019s a process that they have to go through to get him back. So, we\u2019re working through that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>How serious is Elijah\u2019s injury? Is that related to the injury he suffered in training camp?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll know more as the week goes on. I\u2019m still hopeful that he\u2019ll be able to make it Sunday.\u00a0No, it came on really late, so I didn\u2019t have any detail on Monday. Didn\u2019t really get a hold of it until really Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mekhi Becton Update<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No update yet. It\u2019s really the same. He hasn\u2019t had a setback or anything, just everyone is different in terms of how they heal and all that stuff. So, hopefully we can get something going soon, but it\u2019s all the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was he supposed to be on the field, like field work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s still doing field work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Everyone is different and some people take a little longer, but this was originally a four-to-six recovery, then went four-to-eight. We\u2019re now about a month past that eight-week timetable, is it alarming at all that he\u2019s not\u2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, because his was different. You\u2019re right, it was different in terms of, if you guys remember there was that talk of whether or not there was going to be surgery to shut it down, too. So, his was a little bit different than any other one. Always felt like it was going to be more, personally, just because the way it was spoken was different than (Conor) McDermott\u2019s. So, I\u2019m not at all surprised or discouraged. He\u2019s going to heal, he\u2019ll be back, and he\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you still think he\u2019ll be back this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, yeah, I\u2019m still hopeful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you balance that with only five games left? When does it become too late than it\u2019s worth getting him out there on the field?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever too late. I think he\u2019s got a desire to play for his teammates, play for his family and all that. So, whether it\u2019s one game, two games, I don\u2019t think it really matters to him, he just wants to get back on the field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where would he play if he came back?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll speculate on that one later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With Mekhi though, is there a point where you have to say like, \u201cOkay, if he\u2019s not back by here, we\u2019re just going to shut it down?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, I\u2019m not ready to even think about that one yet<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-57697\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jets-Injury-Report-1.png\" alt=\"NY Jets Injury Report\" width=\"642\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jets-Injury-Report-1.png 642w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jets-Injury-Report-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jets-Injury-Report-1-600x299.png 600w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jets-Injury-Report-1-200x100.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Saleh spoke to the media on Wednesday and gave injury updates for the NY Jets Roster.\u00a0 An interesting exchange took place when Saleh was asked about Mekhi Becton returning.
