Crowell is slated to go down as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day, clouding his status for Saturday's game against the Texans.
All three of the Jets' running backs on the man roster are banged up at the moment, but both Elijah McGuire ankle and Trenton Cannon toe seem to be further along in their respective recoveries, as the two donned helmets and were working out on the side Wednesday. The Jets will presumably wait and see what Crowell is able to do at the team's final practice Thursday before rendering a verdict on his status for the weekend.
The listing wasn't surprising after Crowell failed to work out with teammates on the field in the portion of practice that was available to the media. Perhaps more noteworthy, Crowell was spotted with a walking boot covering his left foot, per Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, suggesting he may be dealing with something more significant than minor soreness after exiting the Week 14 win over the Bills. Crowell hasn't missed any games this season but has been a mainstay on the Jets ' injury reports with foot, toe and ankle issues, so his latest related setback could prompt the team to take a cautious approach with him down the stretch.
If Crowell ends up sitting out or having his workload limited during the Jets' final three games, Elijah McGuire would handle the brunt of the carries if his ankle injury turns out to be minor.
Crowell's absence from the first day of practice is not a great sign after coach Todd Bowles reported him feeling "pretty sore" Monday.
The starting running back exited Sunday's game against the Bills after logging just two carries on five snaps due to a toe injury that held him to just one limited practice session last week. The Jets have one fewer day to recover this week with a Saturday game on tap against the Texans, so look for increased participation from Crowell either Wednesday or Thursday to improve his chances of suiting up. Crowell was removed from Sunday's win over Buffalo after playing just five snaps, finishing with two carries for five yards and one reception for two yards.
He'd been listed as questionable due to a toe injury after managing just one limited practice Friday during the week.
With the Jets now on a short week heading into Saturday's game against Houston, it may be difficult for Crowell to avoid an absence. Elijah McGuire took advantage Sunday in Buffalo with 83 yards and a score on 20 touches three catches , while No. Crowell was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bills with a foot injury. Prior to his exit, Crowell had logged two carries for five yards and caught one pass for two yards.
Elijah McGuire is next up for the Jets ' carries while Crowell is sidelined. Crowell toe is active for Sunday's game against the Bills. Crowell only managed one limited practice this week while contending with the toe issue that could be linked to the foot injury he battled through much of October. The prior concern didn't force any absences, and it doesn't appear that his latest issue will either. Crowell should fill his usual starting role out of the backfield, though his volume remains volatile on a weekly basis due to both game flow and the Jets ' desire to give opportunities to second-year man Elijah McGuire.
