The New York Jets have not been officially eliminated from playoff contention yet, but their dreams are hanging by a thread. At 3-7, New York cannot afford another loss - including Sunday's must-win contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Led by Anthony Richardson, the Colts have playoff aspirations of their own, but even those hang by a thread in an open AFC race.
© Brad Penner-Imagn Images Ahead of Sunday's showdown at MetLife Stadium, let's take a look at the inactive list here for both teams. Jets Inactive List - LB, C.J.
Mosley - OT, Tyron Smith - OL, Jake Hanson - CB, Jarrick Bernard-Converse - Edge, Braiden McGregor - RB, Israel Abanikanda Notes: - During the week, Jets defensive captain and linebacker C.J. Mosley made it clear his neck injury would keep him out of Sunday's game, but there was a chance he would return to the lineup after the team's bye week.
- With Smith dealing with an injury, 11th overall pick Olu Fashanu will make his first career start at left tackle Sunday - his natural position. Fashanu was drafted to be the future at left tackle and gets a great opportunity here to show why. Colts Inactive List - DE, Genard Avery - QB, Sam Ehlinger (Third QB) - WR, Anthony Gould - S, Darren Hall - TE, Will Mallory - OL, Josh Sills - OL, Bernhard Raimann Related: Jets Make Tyron Smith Decision as Rookie to Start Notes: - Anthony Richardson is back in the starting lineup for Indianapolis this week after being benched for Joe Flacco last week.
Richard has a 44% completion percentage this season and has struggled to be consistent to start his career. - Raimann was the team's starting left tackler for most of this season, and his inactive status means that third-round rookie Matt Goncalves. It could be a matchup that Will McDonald and the Jets defense look to exploit.
