NFL Notes: Broncos, Cowboys, Jets, Patriots, Raiders

Broncos

Cowboys

• QB Tony Romo (back) will wear extra padding on Sunday if he ends up being active. (Todd Archer)

Jets

• RB Chris Johnson expressed some frustration regarding his current role in the Jets’ offense.

“It’s been frustrating,” Johnson said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN New York. “You have a lot of different levels of frustration. You have frustration when you’re playing and things aren’t going well, or you’re not making plays.

“That’s not this type of frustration, because it’s not like I’ve had the opportunity to really make plays. That’s more of the frustration, not getting the opportunity to be on the field, trying to help the team win.”

Patriots

• LB Deontae Skinner is expected to re-sign to Patriots’ practice squad. (Shalise Manza Young)

Raiders

• WR Kenbrell Thompkins did not practice on Thursday due to personal reasons, and the Raiders aren’t sure when he’ll be back. (Vic Tafur)
