FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Defensive end Sheldon Richardson will be a game-time decision this Sunday, New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said.
Richardson was on the side and did not participate in practice this week due to a hamstring injury, which does not bode well for playing against the Texans.
ESPN.com Jets reporter Rich Cimini notes that no Jets player who had missed an entire week of practice this season was active for that week’s game.
“I’ll see him warm up before the game and make a decision after that,” Bowles said.
Bowles said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (thumb surgery) is ready to go and will start against the Texans.
Safety Dion Bailey (ankle) has been ruled out while cornerback Buster Skrine (shoulder/hand) is questionable. Skrine was limited on Friday after going through two full days of practice earlier in the week.
