Per the Jets twitter account: RB Joe McKnight CB Isaiah Trufant DE Vernon Gholston OL Vlad Ducasse DT Jarron Gilbert TE Jeff Cumberland DT Marcus Dixon Kellen Clemens is the third QB.
I was hoping to see McKnight get a few touches. Not a big deal to have either of them inactive though.
The last time the Jets did this was in Week 6 against Denver, and the Broncos ended up running the ball pretty effectively early on that week. The Colts are going to have some early success on the ground tonight if the Jets overcompensate for the pass. It's a compromise they're willing to live with if it slows down the pass, but it's also a bit of a gamble.
A little surprised JM isn't active. Thought they might mix it up and try to build on last weeks momentum by giving him a few touches.
As reported earlier Saturday by NFL Network reporter Albert Breer, the Indianapolis Colts have made outside linebacker Clint Session (elbow) inactive for the AFC wild-card game against the New York Jets. The Colts also declared starting right tackle Ryan Diem (back) inactive. Notable Jets inactives include defensive end Vernon Gholston, who played all 16 regular-season games, and running back Joe McKnight, who rushed for 158 yards in the Jets’ Week 17 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Right Tackle Damien Woody returns to the Jets lineup after missing the past three weeks with a knee injury. Breer reports that the Jets will start Dwight Lowery over Eric Smith at safety, alonside Brodney Pool.
