TYLER KROFT NEWS

Goes on IR New York placed Kroft (chest) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact As a result of the transaction, Kroft will be sidelined for at least the Jets' next three games, making the team's Week 13 matchup with the Eagles on Dec. 5 his earliest possible return date. Before sustaining a lung laceration in last week's loss to the Colts, Kroft had appeared in six games and tallied 10 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. While Kroft is sidelined, Ryan Griffin is set to serve as the Jets' clear No. 1 tight end.

Expected to go on IR Kroft sustained a lung laceration in Thursday's loss to the Colts and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact New York expects Kroft to return this season, but he'll presumably be moved to injured reserve next week, meaning that he'll be forced to sit out at least three games. With Kroft out of the mix, Ryan Griffin -- who logged a 4-28-1 stat line on seven targets Thursday -- and Trevon Wesco (two catches for 16 yards) will serve as the Jets' top two options at tight end.

Out with chest injury Kroft has been ruled out of the remainder of Thursday's game against the Colts due to a chest injury.

Impact Kroft made a leaping catch late in the first half but left the game immediately after. There's no indication of what the exact injury is, but he will be sidelined after logging two receptions for 38 yards. Ryan Griffin and Trevon Wesco will serve as the team's primary tight ends in Kroft's absence.

Stuns former team with late TD Kroft (back) caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.

Impact Kroft was quiet for most of the game in his first action since Week 4, but he stepped up when it mattered most, securing the game-winning 13-yard touchdown with 3:45 remaining. The 29-year-old tight end had scored eight of his previous 12 career touchdowns for the Bengals, and his first as a Jet helped his new team pull off a shocking upset over his former squad.

Returning to action Kroft (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact A full practice Friday suggested Kroft would suit up for the first time since Week 4. He played 66 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps over the first four weeks of the season, but caught just six passes for 46 yards on 10 targets. Ryan Griffin hasn't been much better in Kroft's absence, catching exactly one pass in four straight games.

Could return against former team Kroft (back) upgraded to full practice participation Friday but is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kroft hasn't seen the field since Week 4 while tending to a back injury, but his full practice participation Friday suggests he's trending in the right direction after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. If he's able to suit up Sunday, Kroft will face a Bengals team with which he spent his first four seasons. That stint in Cincinnati included a career-best 2017 campaign in which Kroft scored seven touchdowns, but the 29-year-old tight end has just five touchdowns in his other six seasons combined.

Limited in practice Wednesday Kroft (back) was listed as a limited participant during the Jets' practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kroft hasn't played since Week 4, when he suffered a back injury in practice. With the tight end getting back on the field in some capacity to begin Week 8 prep, the Jets have reason to believe that he might be ready to play Sunday against the Bengals. If Kroft is ultimately forced to miss another game, however, expect Ryan Griffin to continue to serve as the Jets' primary tight end.

Ruled out for Week 7 Korft (back) won't play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Impact Kroft was unable to practice at all this week, suggesting he's not particularly close to returning. He hasn't seen the field since Week 4, leaving the Jets bereft of talent at tight end. Ryan Griffin is expected to serve as the Jets' primary option at the position Week 7 but won't make for an especially appealing fantasy option.

Not ready to practice Kroft (back) won't practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Even after the team's bye week, Kroft isn't ready to practice, which clouds the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Kroft remains out or limited this weekend, Ryan Griffin and Trevon Wesco would be in line for expanded roles in Week 7, though with Kroft sidelined in Week 5 versus Atlanta, Griffin logged a 91 percent snap share and recorded just one catch on two targets for four yards, while Wesco was out there for 24 snaps and saw zero targets.

Not jetting to London The Jets have ruled out Kroft (back) for Sunday's game against the Falcons in London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kroft was among three Jets that won't make the trip across the pond. With a back injury in tow and no practice so far this week, he'll be sidelined for the first time this season. In Kroft's stead, Ryan Griffin should be New York's primary tight end Sunday, while Trevon Wesco and Daniel Brown are candidates for elevated roles.

Nursing back injury Kroft won't practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Since logging three catches for 26 yards Week 1, Kroft, who played through a rib issue this past Sunday against the Titans, has totaled just three catches for 20 yards over the Jets' subsequent three contests. If Kroft ends up sitting out this weekend against the Falcons, Ryan Griffin would operate as the Jets' clear No. 1 tight end after splitting work with Kroft through the first four contests.
