The Jets enter their Week 14 a banged-up football team, but at least they will have two of their key pieces in the trenches when they take on the Saints.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and Sheldon Rankins are active after being listed as questionable during the week. Duvernay-Tardif missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned in a limited capacity on Friday and will assume his spot at right guard. Rankins returns after missing Week 13 with a knee injury. C.J. Mosley is also active after being listed as questionable with a knee injury.
Notable players out for the Jets include Michael Carter II and Tevin Coleman due to concussions, as well as Elijah Moore due to a quad injury. Moore was placed on injured reserve Saturday, prompting the Jets to activate Brandin Echols injured reserve and elevate Vyncint Smith, D.J. Montgomery, Ronald Blair and Dan Brown. Blair is among New York’s inactives.

Jordan’s absence marks the end of consecutive games played streak at 172. Rotational wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey is also out with an injury after being listed as questionable.
Alvin Kamara is officially back for New Orleans after missing time with a knee injury. Kamara has rushed for 530 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 32 receptions for 310 yards and four touchdowns so far this season.
