Newman (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Newman logged limited participation in Thursday's practice before ultimately failing to participate during Friday's session. The Jets' offensive line will be running low in the depth department as a consequence of the backup interior lineman's absence.

Benford (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

The starting cornerback popped up on the injury report Wednesday after playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps against the Chiefs in Week 9. Benford has played on most of the defensive snaps this season for the Bills. In his absence, rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston should see more playing time.

Jones (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Jones missed the Bills' last three games due to a groin injury. He earned the questionable tag for Week 10 after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he's done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jones' return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive tackle available for Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips and Phidarian Mathis.

Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Woods was a healthy scratch for the Jets' first seven games of the regular season before making his 2025 debut against the Bengals in Week 8. He's a healthy scratch for Week 10, as the Jets go with three active tight ends in Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt.

Wilson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Though Wilson ended up taking a questionable tag into the weekend, he never seemed to be at much risk of missing a third straight game coming out of the Jets' Week 9 bye after he turned in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday. Wilson isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday and should step back in as the No. 1 target for quarterback Justin Fields, who is set to continue directing the offense in Week 10, despite head coach Aaron Glenn electing not to formally name a starting quarterback following Friday's practice.

Winston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Winston can only enter Sunday's contest if Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson leave due to injury, illness or ejection. Winston hasn't appeared in a game yet this season.

Schwesinger (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

The rookie middle linebacker suffered a high ankle sprain during the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots and then missed two practice sessions following the team's Week 9 bye. At the same time, the injury was never believed to be "major," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Schwesinger has enjoyed a strong rookie season, with 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one interception.

Hill (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hill is set to miss his third straight game with the ankle injury. He managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, so he should be nearing a return. With Darren Waller (pectoral) also sidelined, Greg Dulcich should have some opportunity after recording five catches in Week 9.

Mauigoa (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Mauigoa was able to log a full practice Friday, but he has not progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. He'll need to be assessed and cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for the Jets' next game Thursday against the Patriots. Mauigoa's absence means Ja'Markis Weston, Kobe King and Mykal Walker are candidates to start at linebacker.

Eluemunor (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After not playing in Week 9 due to a pectoral injury, Eluemunor remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice. However, he closed out Week 10 prep with two limited sessions and will return to his usual role as the Giants' right tackle Sunday, sending Marcus Mbow back to a reserve role.
