Following Friday's practice, coach Bill O'Brien ruled Hoyer (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Though Hoyer didn't practice this week, O'Brien did note Friday that he's optimistic the QB will return to practice and be able to play next week against the Saints. Starting in Hoyer's place this Sunday will be T.J. Yates, who is set to make his first NFL regular season start since Week 17 of the 2011 campaign.
