Injury report: Holmes still out, Mangold will play

BY NICK ST. DENIS

New York Jets receiver Santonio Holmes gave a hint this week that he'd be absent from the game field until after the team's Week 10 bye, and that theory is holding true for at least one week.

Holmes, who has missed the last three games, is listed as "out" for the Jets' road bout with the Cincinnati Bengals, though the Jets continue to get healthier at pretty much every other position. Center Nick Mangold is "questionable" with a rib ailment, but coach Rex Ryan ensured Mangold would be a go Sunday.

New York's offense will have the luxury of going against a Bengals secondary without cornerback Leon Hall, though the team's stout defensive front is still well and good.

The Jets have had a handful of players listed as "probable" all season long, and Week 8 is no exception. Seven starters and six relatively important depth players are on the "75 percent" bill but will all make the trip and gameday lineup.

Here's the full slate of injuries for both teams:
