Joyner (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Joyner exited in the first half, and he'll be unable to return for the second. The veteran safety had missed each of the team's last two games with a hip injury, and it appears likely that he aggravated it on coverage of a deep pass to DK Metcalf. Tony Adams will continue to fill in at safety.

Jets' Lamarcus Joyner: Aiming for Sunday return
Rotowire
Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Joyner will return to practice this week after missing both of the last two games due to a hip injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Joyner, who's been sidelined during both of New York's previous two matchups as a result of a hip issue, is now slated to resume practicing this week and possibly reclaim his usual starting safety spot in the New Year's Day matchup versus Seattle. While his activity levels in practice throughout the week should provide further clarification regarding his Week 17 availability, the 32-year-old appears in line to suit up this weekend following the Jets' decision to send down fellow safety Will Parks to the team's practice squad.

Jets' Lamarcus Joyner: Sticking with Jets
Rotowire
Joyner (triceps) re-signed with the Jets on a one-year deal Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Joyner was expected to serve as a starting safety opposite Marcus Maye in the Jets' secondary in 2021. That plan was derailed after Joyner suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the first game of the season. He'll have another chance to make a significant impact in the team's secondary in 2022, especially given the expectation that Maye departs in free agency.

Raiders' Lamarcus Joyner: Returns to active roster
Rotowire
The Raiders activated Joyner (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Joyner will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Jets after missing two games while on the reserve list. The veteran safety typically plays around 70 percent of the defensive snaps per game, so he should resume that role if his conditioning is up to par. Through nine games, Joyner has produced 46 tackles and three pass breakups.

Raiders' Lamarcus Joyner: Shakes injury tag
Rotowire
Joyner (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.
Joyner pulled up lame in the Week 5 win over the Chiefs, but after staying on the practice field all week, he's been deemed good to go. He has a tough test ahead with the Buccaneers coming to town, as both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are healthy. Joyner's been sturdy in coverage this year, however, letting up a 91.2 passer rating and just one touchdown when targeted.

Rotowire
Joyner posted 49 tackles and three pass breakups over 14 games in 2019.
Joyner signed a four-year, $42 million ticket last March, but the Raiders still spent a first-round pick on Johnathan Abram (shoulder) and brought Eric Harris aboard as well. The 29-year-old Joyner could have competition for a starting role in 2020 if the team brings back Karl Joseph (foot), whose recovery timeline still is unclear.

Rams' Lamarcus Joyner: Won't be franchise tagged
Rotowire
Joyner will not receive the franchise tag from the Rams ahead of Tuesday's deadline, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Joyner played under the franchise tag in 2018, but Rams general manager Les Snead said Thursday that the team doesn't have plans on utilizing that designation for 2019. The two sides were unable to agree to a long-term deal prior to last year's summer deadline, and now the team is apparently willing to let the 28-year-old safety head into free agency. Joyner had a career-high 79 tackles (58 solo) with one sack and one interception in 15 starts for the Rams in 2018.

Rams' Lamarcus Joyner: Placed on NFI list
Rotowire
Joyner (undisclosed) was placed on the Non-Football Injury list Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
It's surprising to see Joyner's name on this list, as he wasn't known to be dealing with an injury. There's no telling when he's expected back on the field. When healthy, the franchise-tagged safety should immediately return to his spot with the first-team defense.
