Brian Winters is a likely holdover in 2019, but don't rule out an upgrade.
The Jets are preparing to take on the Chargers on Christmas Day at Metlife Stadium. On Thursday Brian Winters, Matt Forte and Elijah Mcguire all missed practice. Leonard Williams remains in the concussion protocol. Here is the update from Todd Bowles.
Brian Winters did not practice. Matt Forté did not practice. Elijah McGuire did not practice (he was sick). Wesley Johnson was limited. Leonard Williams was limited. Morris Claiborne was limited.
Bowles also said that Dakota Dozier or Brent Qvale would start in place of Winters if he can’t go on Sunday.
Here is the full injury report for both teams.
