Mike Evans, DaRon Bland voted as NFL's most underrated players by fellow Pro Bowlers

Headed to IR The Jets placed Woods on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Impact Woods tore his Achilles in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants. The 13-year veteran had six tackles (four solo), including one sack, in six games for the Jets this season after spending the previous three years with the Seahawks. Given Woods' age and the timing of the injury, it will be an uphill battle for him to be ready by training camp next year.

Appears set to return Woods (Achilles) logged a full practice session Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact An Achilles injury resulted in Woods sitting out each of Seattle's past two games, but his ability to fully participate in practice Wednesday suggests that the nose tackle will be able to return New Year's Day against the Jets, barring any setbacks. Woods racked up 37 tackles, two sacks and a pass defense over 12 contests prior to suffering the injury.

Remains out Week 16 Woods (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Woods will miss his second game in a row while dealing with an Achilles injury. The 35-year-old did not manage to return to practice Tuesday or Wednesday, so it's unclear if he'll be able to work his way back before Seattle's next game against the Jets on Sunday, Jan. 1. With Bryan Mone now set to miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, expect Daviyon Nixon to start at nose tackle after signing with the Seahawks on Wednesday.
