Ruckert didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. Ruckert played only 21 of 57 snaps on offense compared to 53 of 57 for Tyler Conklin, but Ruckert finished with one more target. The third-year pro didn't take advantage of his opportunities, which included an end-zone target on which Ruckert seemed to cut his route a little short. Ruckert's still searching for his first catch of the season heading into Thursday's home opener against the Patriots.

Ruckert wasn't targeted in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers. Tyler Conklin's two targets accounted for all of the pass-catching opportunities afforded to Jets tight ends in the season opener. Ruckert played 33 percent of snaps on offense to Conklin's 90 percent, so it would likely take an injury to Conklin to clear the way for Ruckert to see significant playing time.

Ruckert (concussion) took part in OTAs on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Ruckert appeared in the first 15 games for the Jets last season, but he missed the final two contests due to a concussion he sustained in Week 16 against the Commanders. Ruckert served as the backup tight end behind Tyler Conklin, finishing with 16 catches on 22 targets for 151 yards while playing 301 snaps on offense and 205 snaps on special teams. Ruckert caught passes from quarterback Aaron Rodgers during seven-on-seven drills Tuesday.

Ruckert (concussion) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve Saturday. This means Ruckert's season is over, and he will now have to set his sights on preparing for the 2024 campaign. He will end the year with 151 yards on 16 receptions across 15 games. In his absence, Kenny Yeboah and Zack Kuntz will be available to provide depth at tight end behind Tyler Conklin.

Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Ruckert suffered the concussion Week 16 against the Commanders, which ultimately put an end to his second NFL campaign. The Ohio State product saw a significant bump in work this season, going from 42 offensive snaps during his rookie year to 301 in 2023. Ruckert will finish the season with 16 catches on 22 targets and 151 yards receiving. Kenny Yeboah should continue seeing an increased workload Week 18 against New England.
