Charles didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Charles made a valiant effort on his first target of the season, nearly getting both knees down on a low catch in the back of the end zone, but it looked like he couldn't quite maintain control on his way to the ground. His spot on the roster is safe thanks to Charles' contributions as the gunner on special teams, but Charles has been targeted on offense only twice in 19 NFL games.

Charles (hip) was not listed on the Jets' injury report Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Jets' Irvin Charles: Injures hip in preseason game
Rotowire
Charles is questionable to return to Saturday's exhibition contest against Carolina due to a hip injury.
Charles didn't draw a target before getting hurt, and it's unclear if he'll be able to reenter the game. The 6-foot-4 wideout has had a strong camp and has a solid chance of making the 53-man roster if the toe issue doesn't prove to be serious. As with last year, Charles may see most of his work on special teams if he does make the cut, though it's certainly possible that he could get more opportunities on offense this season.

Rotowire
Charles didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.

Jets' Irvin Charles: Limited to special teams
Rotowire
Charles played all 23 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.
Though he was active ahead of Randall Cobb as the Jets' No. 5 receiver, Charles was relegated exclusively to a special-teams role while Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Jason Brownlee (ankle) and Allen Lazard handled all the available wideout snaps. Even if the injury Brownlee sustained forces him to miss this Sunday's game against the Texans, Cobb -- if active -- may get the nod over Charles as the No. 4 option at receiver.

Jets' Irvin Charles: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Charles (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Charles was unable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Giants after sitting out the final session of Week 8 prep Friday. His full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he is on track to play in Week 9 against the Chargers on Monday night. Charles has appeared in two games this season -- he's logged 33 snaps on special teams and seven on offense -- without recording a stat.

Jets' Irvin Charles: Inactive for Week 8
Rotowire
Charles (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
Charles is dealing with a shoulder injury that forced him to sit out practice Friday after logging a pair of limited sessions to begin Week 8 prep. He came into the weekend considered doubtful to play, so it's no surprise that he'll sit out the rivalry game against the Giants. Charles has played just seven offensive snaps without logging any stats over two games for the Jets, so his absence will primarily impact the team's special-teams unit.

Jets' Irvin Charles: Added to active roster
Rotowire
The Jets elevated Charles from the practice squad Saturday.
Charles spent the preseason with the Jets before being waived as part of the team's final roster cuts in late August. The undrafted wideout has spent the entirety of his rookie campaign on the team's practice squad, and he's now in line to make his NFL debut during Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami. Charles, who caught four passes for 27 yards during the preseason, will likely slot into a deep reserve role alongside Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims.
