New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers: Start of the Bryce Petty era
Injury Report
Out
- Antonio Allen, S (concussion, did not practice Friday)
- Breno Giacomini, OT (shoulder, back, calf, did not practice Friday
- Lorenzo Mauldin, LB (ankle, did not practice Friday)
- Steve McLendon, DT (hamstring, did not practice Friday)
- Khiry Robinson, RB (leg, did not practice Friday)
Questionable
- Muhammad Wilkerson, DE (ankle, limited participant in Friday’s practice)
No question the New York Jets are limping into Week 14 sporting a lengthy injury list that also includes eight players on the IR after starting center Nick Mangold was placed there earlier this week.
The look of the offensive line will be much different than the one seen in the beginning of the season. With Ryan Clady and Nick Mangold shelved for the remainder of the season, and Breno Giacomini dealing with a trio of injuries, Bryce Petty will be behind a makeshift offensive line for his second NFL start.
Khiry Robinson was re-signed this Tuesday after being waived in the preseason when he re-injured a broken leg he suffered the season before. With Robinson still unable to see game time as he rehabs the leg, the Jets bringing him back and waiving C.J. Spiller in the process is a head-scratcher.
Doubtful
- Joe Staley, OT (hamstring, did not practice Friday
Questionable
- Aaron Lynch, LB (ankle, limited participant in Friday’s practice)
- Quinton Dial, DT (elbow, limited participant in Friday’s practice
The 49ers unquestionably come into this contest as the healthier team. Missing Joe Staley will surely hurt, but with the speed of Colin Kaepernick, it can be offset.
Much like the Jets on the offensive line, the 49ers are hurting at the linebacker position. Aaron Lynch is listed as questionable and if he is unable to go, second-year linebacker out of Virginia Eli Harold will be asked to fill the void.

Sports have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Born in Queens, New York, I took to the Mets and the Jets at a young age, and actually have a video of myself reciting the 1986 Mets 25-man roster at age 3. Covering New York Sports is a dream come true. After attending the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, I was able to fully realise my potential of turning my liking for sports into a career that I love.
