Jelani Woods: Breaking News

Staying with Jets

Woods re-signed with the Jets on Thursday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports. The tight end appeared in four regular-season games for New York last season, catching one pass for four yards. Woods spent the previous two seasons on injured reserve with the Colts due to hamstring and toe injuries.

Done for the year

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Woods (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's season finale against New England. Woods appeared in four regular-season with New York in 2025 after having spent the prior two years on IR with the Colts due to hamstring and toe injuries. Across his appearances with the Jets, he secured one of three targets for four yards. Woods is slated to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and continued concerns about his ability to stay healthy will likely tamper the amount of interest he receives from teams around the league.

Downgrades to DNP

Woods (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Woods was limited in Wednesday's session due to a hamstring injury but was held out of Thursday's practice, which has the fourth-year tight end trending in the wrong direction. His practice participation Friday will determine whether he is tagged with an injury designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills.
