Jay Tufele: Breaking News

Visits Detroit

The Lions hosted Tufele (foot) for a visit Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Tufele appeared in 12 regular-season games with the Jets last season, making two starts, but finished the campaign on injured reserve after recording 12 tackles (five solo) across 230 defensive snaps.

Heading to IR

The Jets placed Tufele (foot) on injured reserve Friday, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports. Tufele was unable to practice all week after suffering a foot injury in the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Saints. With the move to IR, the 26-year-old will finish the season with 12 tackles (five solo). Jowon Briggs and Khalen Saunders are expected to have expanded roles on the defensive line behind Harrison Phillips with Tufele out.

Won't play Sunday

Tufele (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. The USC product logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Jets' week of practice, so it's no surprise that he won't play in Sunday's divisional matchup. While Tufele is sidelined in Week 17, expect Khalen Saunders and Jowon Briggs to have expanded roles on New York's defensive line.
