The struggling New York Jets defense will get a big lift on Sunday, specifically along the defensive front. After missing last week's game against the Houston Texans due to a hamstring injury, defensive end Sheldon Richardson will return to the starting lineup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12.

Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed the news during his press conference on Wednesday as he was a full participant in practice. While Richardson's return is good news, they could still be without starting center Nick Mangold.

Bowles said Mangold's hand is still swollen after suffering severe lacerations between his fourth and fifth fingers in Sunday's game. Mangold still hasn't tried to snap yet and Bowles will need to see that he's able to in order to play.

Mangold left the game against the Texans and was unable to return, and was spotted on the sideline with a heavy wrap on his hand.

Additionally, Brandon Marshall was limited on Wednesday, while Darrelle Revis was a non-participant due to a concussion suffered against the Texans. Revis was actually sent home and not allowed to sit through team meetings. Bowles said the Jets are "ready to play without him," which isn't a good sign.
