Simpson (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. The 27-year-old popped up on the Jets' injury report Thursday as a non-participant in practice due to an illness. He then returned to practice in a full capacity Friday, suggesting he's moved past his illness in time to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. Expect Simpson to serve as Jets' top left guard in Week 14.

Simpson (groin) is doubtful to return to Thursday's contest against the Texans. Simpson suffered a groin injury in the first half and his night now appears to be done. In his absence, Alec Lindstrom is a candidate to see an increase in workload on the offensive line.
Simpson agreed to terms on a two-year, $18 million contract with the Jets on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Simpson started 19 of a potential 19 games for the Ravens last season after spending his first three campaigns with the Raiders. The 26-year-old will now be tasked with protecting Aaron Rodgers on the Jets' offensive line in 2024.
