NFL Injury Report

Charles Clay won't play

Dion Sims looks like viable fill-in option on Monday night

The Dolphins and Jets have submitted their injury reports (for the Monday night game) and tight ends are the headliners.

For the Jets, they’ll be without rookie tight end Jace Amaro (concussion). This isn’t big deal, since he’s faded anyway since the team added Percy Harvin.

More notably, Charles Clay won’t play for Miami. He didn’t practice on Friday or Saturday because of knee and hamstring injuries. He’s doubtful.

With Clay out, Dion Sims becomes surprisingly serviceable as a Week 13 fill-in at tight end. Not that he’s a great pass catcher (he caught 4 passes for 31 yards filling in for Clay last week) but New York has been the league’s worst defense in the league against tight ends, allowing 12 touchdowns.

Miami will be without two of its top three cornerbacks for this game, Jamar Taylor and Cortland Finnegan. Brent Grimes is their No. 1 corner, and he’s fine.

The Jets will be without Muhammad Wilkerson (toe), who’s one of the biggest and best defensive ends in the league. With Wilkerson out, that might soften up one of the league’s best run defenses a notch. On the Miami side, however, they could be without starting tackle Ja’Wuan James, who’s questionable with a neck injury.
