The New York Jets have sunk to a 3-9 record following their most recent home loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Their season is pretty much done in terms of their prospects of making the playoffs, even though they are still mathematically in the running.
The Jets will next face a divisional rival in the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Jets are currently on a three-game losing skid, while the Dolphins' three-game winning run ended after they fell to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
Here, we will look at New York's injury report this week before its showdown with Miami on Sunday.

Jets injury report for Week 13
Running back Breece Hall (knee), offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle), linebacker CJ Mosley (neck), cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) and offensive lineman John Simpson (illness) all missed Thursday's New York Jets practice.
Simpson was not listed on the injury report on Wednesday, while Mosley participated fully in practice on Wednesday before being relegated to DNP on Thursday. Apart from those two, others were nonparticipants on Wednesday as well.
Additionally, offensive linemen Olu Fashanu (toe) and Morgan Moses (knee/shoulder) and cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers (illness) were only able to log limited practice participation on Thursday.
Sauce Gardner injury update
Cornerback Sauce Gardner hurt his hamstring late in the New York Jets' Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said on Wednesday that the team was still determining the extent of Gardner's injury beyond what the MRI revealed.
However, considering the opponents they would face, Ulbrich sounded pessimistic about Gardner's chances of playing. He noted that it's challenging for a cornerback to play with a hamstring injury when facing a quick Dolphins receiving corps that includes Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Gardner is becoming less and less likely to be ready on Sunday after missing two straight practice sessions this week.
Breece Hall injury update
Breece Hall surprisingly popped up on the New York Jets injury report following their bye week in Week 12, but he still played against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. But it was clear that the running back wasn't playing his best game in that contest.
Due to a knee ailment, Hall missed two straight practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, making his status for this week once more uncertain.
Allen Lazard injury update
New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard may return to action in the last few weeks of the regular season after missing time due to a chest ailment he suffered in October.
Earlier this week, the Jets declared that the 28-year-old wide receiver would be activated from injured reserve. Additionally, he was able to participate in two full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, which is encouraging for his return.
