Injury Report: Gardner ruled out for Sunday

The final injury report of Miami week is out:

Since this is the last game of the year, the Jets might opt to put Gardner onto injured reserve tomorrow so that they can add Bruce Hector to the active roster or add some of the practice squad players to the 53-man roster and sign them through 2025 so they don't need to sign them to a futures deal.

There could be additional opportunities to contribute on Sunday for young players like Qwan'tez Stiggers and Jarrick Bernard-Converse with Gardner out, but the Jets could just stick with the likes of Brandin Echols instead. In addition, Ashtyn Davis will apparently be starting at safety.

The other questionable players will all be game-time decisions according to Jeff Ulbrich but Conklin and Vera-Tucker returning to practice on a limited basis gives them a chance.
