The New York Jets may not be in contention for a playoff spot right now, but that doesn't mean that the franchise isn't trying to win as many games as possible.

With Will McDonald appearing on the Jets injury report, we examine a half-dozen of New York's other defenders who are worth the price of admission.

The New York Jets will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12 on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. For this AFC battle between Aaron Glenn's Jets (2-8) and John Harbaugh's Ravens (5-5), it will be the games, within the game, that will make all the difference.

Rashod Bateman won’t be available Sunday against the Jets, but there’s a chance that the Ravens receiver can return next week.

An update on Kris Boyd's condition was provided on Wednesday as the New York Jets player continues to recover from being wounded in a shooting

The New York Jets ' grind through the 2025 NFL season rolls on in Week 12. This time, the Jets (2-8) will visit the Baltimore Ravens (5-5) at M&T Bank Stadium.

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd said he is "starting to breathe on my own now" days after he was shot in Manhattan early Sunday morning.

Boyd was shot in the abdomen in Midtown Manhattan and rushed to the hospital, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.

In March, Boyd, a defensive cornerback and specialty teams player, signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract to play for the Jets, according to the team. He suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during team scrimmage in August and hasn't played since.

Boyd, 29, shared a photo of himself in the hospital on his Instagram story Wednesday, writing: "I’m coming along, starting to breathe on my own now."

That does not bode well for a depleted Jets defense. Unless the Ravens suffer a letdown or the Jets play out of their minds, this one looks very likely to be a loss for the Jets, and probably not a close one.
