Injury report: Hill shaky, but Kerley, Holmes ready

BY NICK ST. DENIS

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan said Friday that all his injured players were probable for Sunday, but by the time the official injury report came out, that wasn't the case.

Wide receiver Stephen Hill was a late downgrade, finding himself on the questionable list.

Considering Hill's lack of production this season, his fall to the questionable designation holds less weight than fellow wideout Jeremy Kerley's probable tag, as Kerley, the Jets' most reliable wideout despite missing a good part of the last month to an elbow injury, is slated to return to action this week against the Oakland Raiders.

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

JETS

Questionable
WR Stephen Hill (knee).

Probable
G Willie Colon (calf), CB Antonio Cromartie (hip), DT Kenrick Ellis (back), WR Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring), RB Chris Ivory (ankle), WR Jeremy Kerley (elbow), C Nick Mangold (wrist), LB Garrett McIntyre (knee), CB Dee Milliner (wrist), WR Greg Salas (finger), QB Geno Smith (right wrist), DE Muhammad Wilkerson (wrist), TE Kellen Winslow (knee).

RAIDERS

Doubtful
G Mike Brisiel (ankle/knee), LB Kaluka Maiava (ribs/calf), RB Darren McFadden (ankle), WR Denarius Moore (shoulder), RB Jeremy Stewart (ankle/knee), S Usama Young (neck).

Questionable
S Tyvon Branch (ankle), LB Miles Burris (toe), RB Rashad Jennings (concussion).

Probable
DE Jason Hunter (foot), T Menelik Watson (illness).
