Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is good to go, but two New York Jets‘ defensive players will likely be unavailable to face the undefeated Minnesota Vikings on October 6 in London.
Starting linebacker CJ Mosley is in danger of missing his third game in a row due to a toe issue. Along with defensive tackle Leki Fotu, Mosley was listed as doubtful on Friday’s injury report.
Mosley suffered his injury during the Week 2 road win over the Tennessee Titans. The defensive captain practiced on a limited basis for three consecutive days.
“From an availability standpoint, we will see, but he will be part of individuals and just working through it all. Not going to lie to you, it is probably a stretch [for him to play Sunday], but we are not going to rule him out quite yet,” said Saleh on Friday after arriving in the United Kingdom.
Fotu started the regular season on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury. The run stuffer, who signed as a free agent this past offseason, returned to practice this week as his 21-day activation window has opened. After practicing fully on Wednesday and Thursday, Fotu was a limited participant on Friday.
Starting right tackle Morgan Moses has been ruled out for Week 5. Rodgers was a full participant on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday with a swollen knee.
Starting right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but he has been cleared for Sunday.
The Jets and the Vikings will kick off at 9:30 am ET in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on NFL Network.
