Echols (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The cornerback was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough session. Echols missed the team's Week 15 win over the Jaguars after starting in place of Sauce Gardner, who had a hamstring issue, in the Jets' Week 14 loss to the Dolphins. With Echols, Gardner and D.J. Reed, who was dealing with a groin injury, all healthy again, New York should have a full depth chart of corners for this Sunday's game against the Rams.

Echols (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The cornerback was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough session. Echols missed the team's Week 15 win over the Jaguars after starting in place of Sauce Gardner, who had a hamstring issue, in the Jets' Week 14 loss to the Dolphins. With Echols, Gardner and D.J. Reed, who was dealing with a groin injury, all healthy again, New York should have a full depth chart of corners for this Sunday's game against the Rams.
Echols (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's contest against Jacksonville, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Echols was originally deemed doubtful for Sunday's matchup, but that designation changed to out a few hours later. The fourth-year cornerback worked as a starter in place of Sauce Gardner (hamstring) this past Sunday against Miami and tallied 10 tackles and a defensed pass. Gardner is set to return Week 15, but in addition to Echols sitting out, fellow cornerback D.J. Reed is doubtful due to a groin issue.
Echols (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Echols opened the Jets' week of practice as a limited participant before downgrading to a DNP on Thursday, suggesting that he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday. If the Kentucky product is sidelined as expected in Week 15, Qwan'tez Stiggers could see increased work as the Jets' top rotational outside cornerback.
Echols finished with 10 tackles (nine solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Dolphins. The 2021 sixth-round pick drew the start with Sauce Gardner out due to a hamstring injury, and he played on all 66 defensive snaps. Echols has appeared in all 13 of New York's games this season, including three starts, recording 31 tackles (23 solo), three pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery. His status for next week's matchup with the Jaguars will likely depend on Gardner's availability.
Echols is expected to start at cornerback for the Jets in Sunday's Week 14 game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is doubtful for the matchup against the Dolphins, likely making room for Echols to slide into a starting role. Echols has largely played on special teams this year, but he does have two starts under his belt, logging five tackles and an interception Week 2 against Tennessee and recording six stops Week 7 against Pittsburgh. If he does start Sunday, Echols could have his hands full trying to slow down Miami's talented wideout duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Echols (undisclosed) was not listed on the Jets' injury report Wednesday. Echols was limited to just 15 snaps (two on defense, 13 on special teams) during the Jets' 26-21 loss to the Seahawks this past Sunday due to dehydration. That doesn't appear to be a lingering issue, and the 2021 sixth-round pick should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Echols suffered from dehydration during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Echols failed to record any stats on the day before his departure, but his status heading into Week 14 is likely not in question. His status at practice during the upcoming week will be worth monitoring, but the concern level is likely minimal at the moment.
Echols (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Echols sustained a concussion in the Jets' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, but it now appears that he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol in time to face Indianapolis on Sunday. With Echols back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Jets' top rotational cornerbacks in Week 11.
Echols (concussion) logged a limited practice session Thursday. Echols didn't play at all in the second half of Sunday's game against Arizona after suffering a first-half concussion. He sat out practice Wednesday but appears to be making progress given his ability to return in a limited fashion Thursday. Echols will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 11 against Indianapolis on Sunday.
