The New York Jets need all hands on deck Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, but they might be shorthanded on a critical part of the formation.
Offensive guard Willie Colon is listed as questionable with a calf injury, and center Nick Mangold is also questionable with a rib ailment. Mangold is more than likely a go, but there doesn't seem to be the same assurance with Colon.
That could mean the underachieving Vlad Ducasse could get the nod against an aggressive Rob Ryan-led defense.
As expected, receiver Santonio Holmes is out again, and tight end Jeff Cumberland is listed as questionable and had yet to be cleared to play as of Friday. Zach Sudfeld and Konrad Reuland will supplement Cumberland's absence with Kellen Winslow finishing up his suspension.
The Saints have a handful of important contributors as questionable, though the headliner in tight end Jimmy Graham will play.
Here's the full slate of injuries for both teams:
