Jets vs Patriots injury report: Latest on Ashtyn Davis, Leki Fotu, Ja'Lynn Polk and more for Week 8 clash

The New York Jets (2-5) and New England Patriots (1-6) aren't having the best seasons in 2024. The Jets are far from the Super Bowl contenders that pundits predicted when they traded for Aaron Rodgers in 2023, while the Patriots haven't improved since replacing the legendary Bill Belichick with Jerod Mayo.

However, the Week 8 showdown could be the turning point for either franchise. As such, let's look at the injury reports for the NFC franchises.

New York Jets vs New England Patriots injury report

Let's explore a few players appearing on the injury report for both franchises.

New York Jets injury report

Let's explore the three Jets players that appear on the injury report ahead of the Patriots' game:

Ashtyn Davis' injury update

Ashtyn Davis is suffering from a concussion and has not been able to clear the five-step concussion protocol. Thus, the safety will not play against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Davis suffered the concussion in the Jets' Week 7 defeat to the Mike Tomlin-coached Pittsburgh Steelers.

Leki Fotu's injury update

According to CBS Sports, Leki Fotu will not play any part in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The defensive tackle has not been able to recover sufficiently from a knee injury.

Fotu did not participate in a single training session this week, so, unsurprisingly, he won't be available for the Patriots game.

Alijah Vera-Tucker's injury update

According to the Jets website, Alijah Vera-Tucker will not take the field in Sunday's game. The offensive guard is dealing with an ankle injury.

Vera-Tucker did not partake in a single practice session. Hence, there was only a little chance of him suiting up versus New England.

New England Patriots injury report

Let's explore the two Patriots who are listed as out on the injury report ahead of the Jets' game:

Ja'Lynn Polk's injury update

Wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk will not play on Sunday, as the rookie pass catcher is dealing with a concussion and hasn't recovered sufficiently to play in an NFL game.

Polk did not participate in a single practice session this week. Hence, he'll be forced to watch from the sidelines or at home as his team faces off against the Packers.

Layden Robinson's injury update

Layden Robinson will not play against the Jets. The guard has an ankle injury, per CBS Sports.

Robinson suffered the injury in his team's Week 6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He'll miss this crucial matchup.
