Jets WR Robby Anderson (knee) practiced on a limited basis. As expected, DE Mo Wilkerson (shoulder) and RG Brian Winters (abdomen) didn't practice. DE Leo Williams still is experiencing soreness from a preseason wrist injury and was limited in practice.

Early look-in at practice: DE Mo Wilkerson (shoulder), WR Robby Anderson (knee) and RG Brian Winters (abdomen) are sitting out for the second day in a row. Anderson, wearing a brace, did some running off to the side.
Dolphins-Jets could be 'closer than people imagine' (0:52)

Looking to bolster their edge pass rush, the Jets have signed DE David Bass, who was released earlier this week by the Seahawks. He played 25 snaps in two games for Seattle, recording one tackle. He also played with the Titans and Bears (5.5 career sacks). Bass could be a nickel rusher for the Jets, who have only two sacks. To make room, they waived LB Freddie Bishop.

Two days after waiving PR Kalif Raymond, whose muffed punt loomed large in the loss to the Raiders, the Jets have re-signed him to the practice squad. This is a curious turn of events. So much for sending a message. Maybe coach Todd Bowles doesn't like his replacement options on the current roster, Jeremy Kerley and Elijah McGuire.
Stars never aligned for Jets and Jay Cutler -- a win for both sides
The Jets reached out to Jay Cutler when he was a free agent. But he's better off in Miami, and the Jets are better off with Josh McCown.

Saturday is the one-year anniversary of Austin Seferian-Jenkins' DUI arrest while playing for Tampa Bay. The Jets' tight end, coming off a two-game suspension stemming from the arrest, says he has gone 242 days without alcohol. He hopes his story can serve as an example to others.

After cutting return specialist Kalif Raymond, the Jets will have a new punt returner and kickoff returner Sunday against the Dolphins. Jeremy Kerley and Elijah McGuire are working in both roles in practice. Coach Todd Bowles said he won't make a decision until game day.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
Jets coach Todd Bowles said TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins has "got to get in a little better shape. That's to be expected with two weeks off, but he'll get going." Bowles said it's too early to say for sure that Seferian-Jenkins will be active on Sunday against the Dolphins. It would be a surprise if he's not. The Jets have four other tight ends on the roster, but three are dealing with injuries. Seferian-Jenkins is eligible to return from a two-game suspension.

Three offensive starters missed practice for the Jets -- RG Brian Winters (abdomen), WR Robby Anderson (knee) and TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow). They're banged up at tight end, but Austin Seferian-Jenkins is eligible to play this week after a two-game suspension. Winters bears watching because the right guard draws Ndamukong Suh. DE Mo Wilkerson said he's not concerned about his shoulder.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson said his injured shoulder is "no concern at all."
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
Did not practice for the Jets: DE Mo Wilkerson (shoulder), WR Robby Anderson (knee) and RG Brian Winters (abdomen).
Jets CEO wants to win, insists team not tanking
New Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said he, not brother Woody, is making the football decisions for the Jets and insisted Wednesday that the team is not tanking so it can draft a top quarterback in 2018.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
New Jets CEO Christopher Johnson spoke to the media for the first time since taking over the team from his older brother, Woody, the new U.S. ambassador to the U.K. Biggest takeaways: Johnson said he doesn't consult with Woody on any football matters. He said he will decide the fates of coach Todd Bowles and GM Mike Maccagnan. He said, "We definitely are not tanking." Johnson is excited about the future, yet realistic about the present. He struck the right balance. It was an impressive media debut.

Jets waive Raymond 2 days after muffed punt
The Jets waived Kalif Raymond on Tuesday, two days after he muffed a punt against the Raiders.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
The Jets have waived PR Kalif Raymond, who had a costly muff on Sunday. Strong statement by Todd Bowles.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
The Jets have re-signed DL Claude Pelon to the practice squad. He was cut last week after playing in Week 1.
Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer
Against the Raiders, the Jets had no sacks, no quarterback hits and only three QB pressures, per ESPN Stats & Info. They blitzed on only eight of Derek Carr's 28 dropbacks. Why didn't they blitz more often? Why couldn't they generate any pressure? The reason is because Carr got rid of the ball in 1.94 seconds on average, the quickest time in the league in Week 2.
NFL's best and worst QBs of Week 2: Josh McCown shines
It might be a little surprising to see a quarterback who lost 45-20 praised, but McCown had two big plays while the game was still close that boosted his Total QBR.

For fans of 0-2 teams already looking toward 2018: the Jets are the current favorites to land the No. 1 pick in next year's draft, though there are plenty of bad teams lurking behind them that have a shot.
