Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed twice for no gain and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Smith matched Miami's opening-drive touchdown with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor on the Jets' first drive, but the veteran QB threw an interception deep in Dolphins territory on the next drive. The Jets trailed for the entirety of the last three quarters, allowing Smith to rack up some big numbers during their failed comeback bid, as he posted his second three-touchdown performance of the season. He found Omar Cooper for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter after they connected for a 60-yard gain earlier on that drive, and Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown and two-point conversion, both to Taylor, to round out the scoring with 3:24 remaining in the fourth, but the Dolphins ran out the clock from there to drop the Jets to 2-5 heading into a Week 8 home game against the Raiders.

Monk (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Monk entered the game when center Sean Rhyan (ankle) exited. The reserve center immediately exited the game with a quadriceps injury, forcing backup tackle John Williams into his first snaps at center for the Packers.

Wilson caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Wilson wasn't targeted in the first half as the Jets took a 21-7 deficit into the locker room. He was slightly more involved in the second half, but Wilson was overshadowed for a second consecutive game by rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper, who has exceeded 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in both games since recovering from an ankle injury. Wilson will try to bounce back from this season-worst performance in catches, receiving yards and targets when the Jets host the Raiders in Week 8.

Rhyan (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Rhyan suffered an ankle injury on the Packers' first offensive drive of Sunday's game. The center limped off the field and is being further evaluated. John Williams replaced Rhyan at center.

Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones aggravated a previous knee injury during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jones exited in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action, and while he was considered questionable to return, he remained on the sideline. He missed time in two prior contests this season due to a knee issue but has been able to suit up for all seven contests. Jones and the Vikings next take the field Sunday, Nov. 1, in Detroit, so his status will be monitored to see if he's in danger of an absence. Fellow RB Jordan Mason (thumb) returned from IR on Sunday, turning 15 carries into 68 yards.

Gordon rushed 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while catching one of three targets for no gain in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Gordon extended his touchdown streak to four games with a one-yard rushing score in the first quarter. Over that four-game span, Gordon has 69 carries for 332 yards and four touchdowns, having established himself as the go-to option in Miami's backfield following De'Von Achane's season-ending ACL tear. If the 1-5 Dolphins can stay competitive at home against the Patriots in Week 8, Gordon would be in line to handle another heavy rushing workload, especially if Jaylen Wright (quadriceps) doesn't play after exiting Sunday's win.

Allen rushed 17 times for 104 yards and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Allen worked as the lead back for a fourth consecutive game, as Breece Hall (quadriceps) was ultimately inactive after being listed as questionable heading into the game. The 235-pound Allen continued to struggle in short yardage, getting stuffed on a goal-line attempt in the fourth quarter as the Jets were denied a game-tying touchdown and instead settled for a field goal to cut the deficit to four points with 8:57 remaining. Allen has exceeded 100 rushing yards twice during Hall's absence but has just one touchdown over that span and two touchdowns this season. Hall worked ahead of Allen prior to getting hurt, but they may split the backfield workload more evenly if Hall's cleared to return against the Raiders in Week 8.

Moton (leg) fractured his fibula in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Coach Dave Canales said that Moton will likely be "out for a while" as he recovers from the broken bone. Monroe Freeling will likely be called upon to start at right tackle in Moton's absence.

Noel departed Sunday's game versus the Giants in the fourth quarter due to a toe injury.

On the heels of a 107-yard effort as a receiver in Week 6 against the Jaguars in London, Noel mustered just minus-3 yards on two catches before exiting Week 7 action early.
