The Jets will try to bounce back from two straight losses and improve their standing in the Wild Card race against the Jaguars this weekend and they should have center Nick Mangold in the lineup to help in that effort.
Mangold missed last Sunday’s loss to the Raiders with a neck injury suffered against the Patriots in Week Seven, but he was able to return to practice this week and has been listed as probable for Sunday. Mangold’s return should be a boost to the team’s run blocking after the line failed to generate much push against Oakland last weekend.
Elsewhere on the offense, wide receiver Eric Decker is set to play after being listed as probable. Decker’s been playing with a knee injury for several weeks, which likely means his intermittent practice schedule will be in place for most, if not all, of the rest of the season. Brandon Marshall is questionable with toe and ankle injuries, but there hasn’t been much talk of him missing the game around the Jets this week.
Safety Calvin Pryor remains out for a second straight week with an ankle injury.
