Jets' Xavier Newman: Practice window opens Wednesday
The Jets designated Newman (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Newman suffered a significant injury in Week 7 against the Steelers that required him to be placed on a spine board and carted off the field. He was able to travel back to New York with the team after being taken to a local Pittsburgh-area hospital and was placed on injured reserve Oct. 23. The 25-year-old offensive lineman was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, and in order to be able to return to games, he'll have to log full practices and clear the league's five-step concussion protocol.

Jets' Xavier Newman: Going to IR
The Jets placed Newman (neck) on their injured reserve list Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Newman left Sunday's game at Pittsburgh early on a spine board, so it's not totally surprising that he'll have to miss at least the Jets' next four games. In his absence, Jake Hanson becomes the team's top bench piece on the interior of the offensive line.

Newman (neck) is traveling back with the team after Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers, per interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
