Tufele (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Tufele spent Week 8 at Cincinnati on the sideline with a knee injury, but with the benefit of a Week 9 bye, it now looks like he'll be ready to play in Week 10 versus the Browns. After three-time All Pro Quinnen Williams was traded to Dallas on Tuesday, Tufele now projects for a starting role on the defensive line.

Tufele (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Tufele will miss at least one game after sustaining a knee injury in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers. Jowon Briggs is the team's lone available backup defensive tackle behind Quinnen Williams and Harrison Phillips, though the Jets could opt to rotate in some of their defensive ends on the interior.

Tufele (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Tufele sustained a knee injury early in the third quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jowon Briggs will be the Jets' lone rotational option at defensive tackle if Tufele is unable to return.

Tufele (illness) was a full participant at practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Tufele was able to increase from a limited participant Thursday to a full participant Friday, and he now appears to be set to make his return to the field after missing two contests due to an illness. The 26-year-old will be back in his reserve role behind Quinnen Williams and Harrison Phillips on the defensive line against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

Tufele (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Tufele will miss his second straight game with an illness. Jowon Briggs and Leonard Taylor will again see increased reps behind Quinnen Williams and Harrison Phillips against Tampa Bay.
