Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Remains out
Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Won't play Week 17
Head coach Robert Saleh said Ruckert (concussion) won't be available for Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Ruckert departed with a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's win over Washington and wasn't able to return. With the Jets facing a quick turnaround for Week 17, Ruckert won't have sufficient time to clear the five-step protocol before Thursday's contest. Kenny Yeboah will likely work as Tyler Conklin's primary backup until Ruckert is ready to return.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Catches both Week 15 targets
Ruckert caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.
Ruckert had only two targets while fellow tight end Tyler Conklin saw seven, but Ruckert finished only two yards shy of Conklin's total. Trevor Siemian failed to lead New York's offense to any points after Zach Wilson (concussion) got hurt in the first half, so Jets pass catchers will be tough to trust in Week 16, even against the leaky Commanders pass defense.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Career-high 37 yards in win
Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
Ruckert was once again outplayed by fellow tight end Tyler Conklin, who had four catches for 57 yards on six targets. His contributions Sunday included an impressive catch along the sideline on which Ruckert kept his concentration to secure a bobbling ball while rolling over a Houston defender. Heading into a Week 15 clash with the Dolphins, Ruckert has 14 catches for 135 yards on 20 targets.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Three targets in loss
Ruckert caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Two catches in Week 12 loss
Ruckert caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Ruckert finished one target and 15 yards shy of Tyler Conklin's totals, while fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah went without a target. With four targets in each of the last two games, Ruckert has established himself as the team's No. 2 tight end behind Conklin, and Ruckert, a 2022 third-round draft pick, could see his role grow further down the stretch given the Jets' stated desire to get young skill position players more involved.

Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Career-high three catches
Ruckert caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.
A second-round pick in 2022, Ruckert has slowly been earning a more consistent snap count in the Jets' offense. Sunday's reception and target totals were both career highs, and he outproduced veteran tight ends Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. The team's offense is in turmoil heading into a Week 12 clash with the Dolphins, as Zach Wilson was benched in the second half Sunday for Tim Boyle, and if New York goes into rebuild mode and begins looking ahead to 2024, Ruckert could ascend to the top of the depth chart.
