New York Jets List 16 Players On Their First Injury Report

The Kansas City Chiefs Wednesday injury report listed three players -- QB Kyle Orton, C Casey Wiegmann and LB Demorrio Williams.

That's nothing compared to the New York Jets injury report who, like most of the Chiefs opponents, have significantly more players listed on the injury report than KC.

Here are all 16 players on the Jets injury report this week:

Did not practice: DT Mike Devito (knee), CB Ellis Lankster (low back), G Brandon Moore (hip)

Limited practice: DT Marcus Dixon (hip), LB David Harris (ankle), RB Joe McKnight (elbow), S Eric Smith (knee)

Full practice: T Vladimir Ducasse (knee), RB Shonn Greene (rib), KR Jeremy Kerley (knee), C Nick Mangold (ankle), LB Calvin Pace (groin), LS Tanner Purdum (low back), G Matt Slauson (knee), RB LaDainian Tomlinson (knee), DE Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder)

Moore, the starting guard, seems to always play so I would expect him out there and Rex Ryan said as much at his Wednesday press conference. McKnight, the return man Haley mentioned in Wednesday's press conference, is uncertain for Sunday with an elbow injury.

Rex Ryan also noted that Tanner Purdum is on the injury report, the Jets long snapper. Chiefs fans may remember him as Thomas Gafford's competition during training camp a couple years back at the long snapping position. Anyway, Ryan singled him out in his press conference because "nobody knows who the long snapper is."

Besides our best 3 players on IR...

KC has been relatively healthy all year. Kind of ironic in a way.

Ironic is not the word

It is proof that Haley made the right choice in preseason. Had we not lost those three players (the consensus is that those injuries are not conditioning related) we would be sitting very pretty right now.

At the same time we were leading the league in missed tackles for the first 4 or 5 weeks of the season

Because of the care bear esque training camp workouts.

We only have a limited amount of full pad practices right?

Gotta conserve those

Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!

Those three kind of make up for it.

As a Jets fan I can tell you what that means.

Devito will be out, that’s a given.

Mcknight is in question.

Lankster will be inactive for the game regardless.

Rest will play.

And the home of the .... JETS!!!
Now lets get a G-D snack!!!
