KENNARD WON'T PLAY AGAINST THE JETS
Outside linebacker Devon Kennard will miss a second straight game with a calf injury. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has been battling an illness in recent days and is listed as questionable, as is Banjo.
Tight end Darrell Daniels (thigh) practiced on Friday but missed the previous two days and is likewise questionable. With Maxx Williams on injured reserve, Jordan Thomas could be needed for a more substantial role behind Dan Arnold if Daniels cannot play.
Thomas, who joined the team after being cut by the Texans before the season, caught a 3-yard touchdown on his only offensive snap last week.
"We like what we've seen," Kingsbury said. "Very athletic. Has made a lot of plays when he's running the scout team offense."
For the Jets, quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been officially ruled out, while tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder) and wide receiver Breshad Perriman (shoulder) are doubtful.
New York has five players who are questionable: cornerback Bless Austin (calf), safety Ashtyn Davis (groin), wide receiver Chris Hogan (ribs/knee), linebacker Jordan Jenkins (shoulder/calf) and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring).
METLIFE STADIUM FIELD NOT A CONCERN TO HUMPHRIES
Multiple players and coaches – particularly from the 49ers – have been vocal in their dissatisfaction of the field turf used at MetLife Stadium, home of the Jets and the Giants.

The NFL has said the turf meets all standards and protocols for safety. Cardinals left tackle D.J. Humphries is not worried about the turf, and he won't be testing out different cleats before the game.
"Good to go," Humphries said. "Whatever God's got for me, he's got for me."
