Jets Week 13 Inactive List @ Vikings; Rankins back, RB Carter out with Ankle Sprain

Entering Week 13, the 7-4 New York Jets are receiving some reinforcements on the offense line. Yesterday, the team announced they activated OT George Fant off IR, where he has been since Week 4. It comes at a great time, as fellow OT Cedric Ogbuehi lands himself on IR with a groin injury he sustained last week. He will be out for at least the next four games. It is unknown whether Fant or Max Mitchell will be the starting right tackle for today’s game. RB Michael Carter, who left last week’s game with a low ankle sprain, will not play after entering the weekend with a Doubtful designation. Zonovan “Bam” Knight will look to build off an impressive rookie debut, where he totaled 103 scrimmage yards. WR Jeff Smith is a healthy scratch for the second straight week.

Defensively, the Jets are getting back DT Sheldon Rankins, who missed the last two games with a dislocated elbow. That is a significant boost to the defensive front, who used Solomon Thomas and practice squad player Tanzel Smart in his absence. LB Hamsah Nasirildeen was elevated up from the practice squad, and will likely serve as a special teams player only. In the secondary, S Ashtyn Davis is out with a hamstring injury, and CB Bryce Hall and S Tony Adams will once again be a healthy scratch.

Here is the full list of inactive players for the Jets:

• QB Zach Wilson (coach’s decision)
• RB Michael Carter (ankle)
• WR Jeff Smith (healthy scratch)
• TE Jeremy Ruckert (healthy scratch)
• CB Bryce Hall (healthy scratch)
