Jets right tackle Morgan Moses was back at practice on Thursday, but he was limited and will not play in the game against Minnesota in London on Sunday.
Moses injured his left knee in the game against New England on September 19 and will miss his second game after the Jets announced he wouldn’t travel with the team.
However, his limited practice is a good sign for his recovery from what initially seemed like a more serious injury. He will be replaced again by rookie Olu Fashanu, who was the No. 11 overall pick in the draft. Fashanu played only left tackle in college at Penn State but made his first NFL start on the right side against Denver last Sunday.
“I don’t think it was too big for him,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said. “And I think he’s going to get better every game.”
There is also some uncertainty on the Jets’ offensive line, as right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker was added to the injury report with an ankle issue that seems to have happened during practice. He was limited on Thursday, and the team will have more information about his status after practice on Friday in London.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers practiced fully after being listed as limited on Wednesday because he missed the team stretch. He had some swelling in his left knee after being sacked five times and hit 14 times in the loss to Denver.
Defensive lineman Leki Fotu also practiced fully for the second day in a row after returning to practice Wednesday following four weeks on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. He could be activated from IR in time to play against Minnesota, marking his debut with the Jets.
