Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.
Johnson opened the week as a DNP due to an ankle injury, but he was able to shed an injury tag for Week 14 after logging a full practice Friday. The fourth-year defensive end has accumulated 15 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in four games since the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Jets' Tony Adams: Questionable to play vs. Miami
Rotowire
Adams (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Adams opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons. He was able to practice in full Friday to earn the questionable tag for Week 14, and his status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Isaiah Oliver would be in line to start at safety alongside Malachi Moore if Adams is not cleared to play.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Moves up to limited practice
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday.
Stiggers didn't practice Wednesday, so his upgrade to a full session Thursday is promising in regard to his potential availability for Sunday's matchup against Miami. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Stiggers is expected to suit up in that contest, per Dennis Waszak Jr. of The Associated Press, but he'll need to clear concussion protocol (if he hasn't done so already) in order to do so. Stiggers has played primarily on special teams this season.

Jets' Will McDonald: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
McDonald (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
McDonald's upgrade to full participation cleared him of injury designation, and he is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. McDonald has logged at least a 70 percent snap share in each of the last two games, though he may see extra playing time if fellow defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson (ankle) cannot suit up for Sunday's divisional clash.

Jets' Jermaine Johnson: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Johnson's limited session is an upgrade from Wednesday, when he was unable to practice. The bump up in participation suggests Johnson is trending towards playing in Sunday's divisional contest against the Dolphins. The starting defensive end will have one more practice to improve his participation and potentially dodge an injury designation for Sunday.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: No practice, still expected to play
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Stiggers maintained his role on special teams in Week 13 against Atlanta, but he appears to be in the league's concussion protocol. Even so, Stiggers is expected to suit up in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Will McDonald: Limited due to ankle issue
Rotowire
McDonald (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
McDonald logged his usual defensive snap share against Atlanta on Sunday, but he appears to have also picked up an ankle injury. It bears monitoring his practice status the remainder of the week, but at this point there's no indication he's dealing with a major issue. McDonald has 7.0 sacks on the season, though 4.0 of those came in one game (versus Cleveland in Week 10).

Jets' Jermaine Johnson: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Johnson (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson has registered 27 tackles (15 solo) and 3.0 sacks through the past seven games, so his potential absence would be a significant hit to the Jets' defense. If he can't go Sunday versus the Dolphins, Micheal Clemons and, to a lesser extent, Braiden McGregor could see increases in their respective snap counts.

Jets' Tony Adams: DNP to start week
Rotowire
Adams (groin) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams sustained this groin injury during last week's win over the Falcons. The veteran safety started each of the last four games and produced 23 tackles (16 solo), two pass breakups and 1.0 sacks. If he can't shake this injury for this Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Isaiah Oliver should start at free safety.

Jets' Cam Jones: Practice window opens
Rotowire
Jones (hip) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
Jones appears to be nearing a return after missing the Jets' last six games due to a hip injury sustained in the Week 6 loss to the Broncos. Once the 26-year-old returns to full health, he's expected to operate as one of the Jets' key special-teamers for the remainder of the season.

Jets' Marcelino McCrary-Ball: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that McCrary-Ball (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The 26-year-old returned from a seven-game absence in the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons, playing 29 defensive snaps and recording five total tackles. However, it now appears he's still dealing with a hamstring injury, as Glenn has already ruled him out for the Week 14 divisional matchup. While McCrary-Ball is sidelined again Sunday, Mykal Walker and Kobe King could have expanded roles in the Jets' linebacker corps.

Jets' Jarvis Brownlee: Out for Week 14
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that Brownlee (hip) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The Louisville product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a hip injury. Brownlee has appeared in seven games since being dealt from the Titans to the Jets in late September, recording 36 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Ja'Sir Taylor will likely operate as the team's top slot corner.

Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Minimal production in Week 13 win
Rotowire
Sherwood posted four tackles (one solo) and a pass defense during the Jets' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
It was a somewhat disappointing performance from a fantasy perspective for Sherwood, who finished Sunday's game with a season-low four tackles despite playing every single defensive snap. He has logged double-digit tackles in six of 12 regular-season games, though he's reached that mark only once over his last five outings. Sherwood was in early contention for the title as the league's combined tackles leader, but he now sits tied with Nate Landman and Carson Schwesinger for the eighth most stops in the NFL at 106.

Jets' Malachi Moore: Career-high 10 stops in Week 13
Rotowire
Moore registered 10 tackles (six solo) during the Jets' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
The rookie fourth-rounder played 68 of 69 defensive snaps during Sunday's win and led both teams with a career-high 10 tackles, including one for a loss. Moore has started in each of the Jets' last seven games and has logged at least five tackles in four of those contests. The Alabama product is up to 60 tackles (34 solo) and two pass defenses through 12 regular-season games.

Byron Cowart: Let go from injured reserve
Rotowire
The Jets waived Cowart (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Cowart opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained in early August during training camp. He was competing for a starting spot on the Jets' defensive line, but the 2019 fifth-rounder has been let go by the team before having the opportunity to return to practice. It's unclear where Cowart is in his recovery from his injury, but once fully healthy, he would be in position to join a team in need of interior depth on the defensive line.

Jets' Tony Adams: Exits with groin injury
Rotowire
Adams (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Adams is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game after sustaining a groin injury. Isaiah Oliver will step into a larger role at safety alongside Malachi Moore for as long as Adams is out of the game.

Jets' Harrison Phillips: Active versus Atlanta
Rotowire
Phillips (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Phillips has been nursing a foot injury since early November, but it has not been severe enough for him to miss any games, and that trend will continue Sunday. The 2018 third-rounder has recorded 38 tackles (13 solo), including 0.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble through 11 regular-season games.

Jets' Jarvis Brownlee: Not suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Brownlee (hip) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 matchup versus the Falcons.
This became the likely scenario when Brownlee was downgraded from questionable to doubtful Saturday. The second-year cornerback popped up on the injury report as a DNP with a hip issue Friday, though it's unclear when or how he picked up the injury. Qwan'tez Stiggers and/or Isaiah Oliver may see an increased role in Brownlee's absence Sunday.

Jets' Jarvis Brownlee: Downgraded to doubtful
Rotowire
Brownlee (hip) has been downgraded and is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
The second-year pro from Louisville was added to the Jets' injury report Friday due to a hip issue, and it now appears he's trending toward not playing in Sunday's contest. If Brownlee is sidelined as expected in Week 13, Ja'Sir Taylor and Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely have expanded roles in New York's secondary.

Jets' Harrison Phillips: Deemed questionable for Week 13
Rotowire
Phillips (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Phillips went DNP-limited-full in practice this week and has been playing through the foot injury for weeks. He seems likely to suit up against Atlanta. Phillips has started all 11 games this season, producing 38 tackles (13 solo), including 0.5 sacks, two pass breakups and one forced fumble.
