Injury update: Five miss practice
Here's the first injury report of the week from the Jets:
Bowles: RB Matt Forte (knee), DL Mo Wilkerson (shoulder/foot), CB Mo Claiborne (foot), DL Ed Stinson (neck), RG Brian Winters (abs) DNP. pic.twitter.com/DCEPpkPxMl

Forté could be the concern here, as his knee swelled up over the past few days. The other four are existing injuries and Todd Bowles specifically said he expects Ed Stinson (who only just re-signed) to return this week.
Wilkerson had a helmet with him at practice today, perhaps indicating that he's close to a return. Mike Maccagnan let slip during his mid-season presser this afternoon that Wilkerson has been recovering from a broken toe.
In other injury news, Christian Hackenberg has a finger injury which limited him in practice. I assume that means he wasn't gripping that clipboard as tightly as he ordinarily would. Lawrence Thomas was also limited.
