Placed on NFI list The Jets placed Ruckert (foot) on the non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Ruckert continues to recover from the foot injury that held him out of June minicamp. C.J. Uzomah (foot) also missed June team activities, while Tyler Conklin has remained healthy since inking with the Jets earlier this offseason. As long as Ruckert is able to return to full health at some point during training camp, he should get a chance to compete for snaps as a rookie.

Misses minicamp Ruckert (foot) didn't participate in June minicamp, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neither did fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah, who reportedly was nursing a minor injury. Ruckert came to the Jets with a foot injury when they drafted him in the third round at the end of April, but he should have time to recover before training camp. Earning Year 1 snaps will be more of a challenge, as the Jets signed both Uzomah and Tyler Conklin earlier this offseason.

Missing time with foot injury Ruckert, who has been suffering from a foot injury, will be re-evaluated next week to determine the extent the rookie will be able to participate in the Jets' rookie OTAs, Ralph Va...

Impact The quote suggests the Jets are "hopeful" the 2022 third-round pick will be able to participate during any of the Jets' spring optional practices throughout the spring, including rookie OTAs. New York signed both C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin this offseason to bolster a previously porous TE corps, so any missed time could put the Ohio State product even further behind in his quest for quality snaps during his rookie campaign.

Latest addition in New York The Jets selected Ruckert in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 101st overall.

Impact New York picked up C.J. Uzomah in free agency, but Ruckert is a nice speculative add for the Jets. Ruckert was highly touted coming out of high school, but Ohio State's loaded receiving corps limited his opportunities to shine through the air, as he didn't have a 20-catch season until his senior year. He was unable to test at the combine due to a left foot injury, but Ruckert has a conventional tight-end frame at 6-foot-5 and 252 pounds. Ruckert may be blocked in terms of immediate playing time, but he could find a role in this offense by his second or third season.
