Playing on Thursday night a problem for injured Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Limited rest and preparation mean that teams rarely look forward to their Thursday night football game, but with a long list of injured, the Jets’ appeared in particularly rough shape on Monday with kickoff three short days later.

Six players did not practice, despite the Jets only going through a walk-through. Buster Skrine was among those who were limited, though he still is not through concussion protocol. Coach Todd Bowles added that the quick turnaround could mean that defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder, foot), who did not practice, might not be able to recover in time from Sunday’s game to face the Bills.
