Here's a look at the Jets' final injury report for Thursday night's short-turnaround home game against the Bills:
Out: FB Lawrence Thomas (concussion)
Doubtful: S Terrence Brooks (hamstring), RT Brandon Shell (neck)
Did not practice Wednesday: FB Lawrence Thomas (concussion), S Terrence Brooks (hamstring), RT Brandon Shell (neck), DE Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder, foot), CB Morris Claiborne (foot)
What it means: The Jets will get cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion) back for this game. He is not listed on the injury report, and he fully participated in Wednesday's practice, so he has been cleared by the NFL's post-concussion assessment protocol.
That is good news for the Jets, considering Claiborne might not play. The Jets could slot Darryl Roberts at Claiborne's outside corner spot, just as they did last week against the Falcons when Skrine was out. Skrine's return also means the Jets will have their regular slot corner for their nickel package. Robert Nelson replaced Skrine in that role last week against Atlanta.
Look for Brent Qvale to get the start at right tackle in place of Shell.
Wilkerson and Claiborne likely will be game-time decisions for Thursday, based on what coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday. Wilkerson has played hurt almost all year and hasn't missed a game. Claiborne is very much a question mark for Thursday, after he got hurt against Atlanta.
