The Jets placed Gardner (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Gardner was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury. His placement on IR opens up a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster for Bruce Hector. Gardner will end the 2024 regular season with 49 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.
Gardner (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. D.J. Reed, Brandin Echols and Isaiah Oliver should see the bulk of the snaps at cornerback for the Jets in the Week 18 finale. Gardner has been dealing with the hamstring injury for weeks and was in and out of the game in Weeks 16 and 17. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2022 Draft, Gardner wraps up a disappointing third season with 49 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass breakups, including one interception.
Gardner (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice estimation, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Gardner first hurt his hamstring Week 16 versus the Rams. He was able to suit up this past Sunday versus Buffalo but departed early in the third quarter after aggravating the issue and was unable to return. Considering the nature of hamstring injuries, Gardner is at risk of missing Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins. Brandin Echols would likely step in and start if Gardner can't suit up.
Gardner won't play for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against Buffalo due to a hamstring injury. Gardner came into the weekend nursing a hamstring issue but was given the go-ahead to start against the Bills. However, the star cornerback appears to have aggravated the issue and was ruled out shortly after the start of the third quarter. Gardner finishes the contest with three tackles (all solo) and a defensed pass.
Gardner (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills. Despite not practicing all week, Gardner will return Sunday from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The 2022 first-round pick will reclaim his starting spot at outside corner opposite D.J. Reed, while Brandin Echols and Isaiah Oliver provide depth at the position. Gardner has logged 46 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and eight pass defenses (including one interception) across 14 regular-season games.
Gardner (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. After exiting the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Rams with a hamstring injury, Gardner logged three consecutive DNPs during the team's week of practice. However, it still appears he has a chance to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. Gardner, a two-time All-Pro, would be a significant loss to the Jets' defense if he cannot play in Week 17. If sidelined, Qwan'tez Stiggers is expected to start opposite D.J. Reed as part of the Jets' top outside cornerback duo.
Gardner (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Gardner suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter of the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Rams. Wednesday's report is an estimate as the Jets didn't practice, so the severity of his injury isn't clear. Gardner's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against Buffalo. Gardner has logged 46 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and eight pass defenses (including one interception) over 14 regular-season games.
Gardner (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams. Gardner injured his hamstring early in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Brandin Echols will likely take over at outside corner opposite D.J. Reed for as long as Gardner is sidelined.
Gardner logged five tackles (two solo), two pass deflections and an interception during the Jets' win Sunday versus the Jaguars. Gardner picked off Mac Jones with under a minute left to clinch the victory for the Jets, his first interception since 2022. The 24-year-old also racked up five tackles, which match his season-high total set back during the team's Week 5 loss versus the Broncos.
