AFC East Notes: Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

Bills

Dolphins

The Dolphins brought in some notable defensive ends for tryouts this week in Kony Ealy and Robert Ayers, but elected to promoteย Jonathan Woodardย from the practice squad instead.

Regarding the decision, Dolphins DCย Matt Burkeย said they felt Woodard had earned the opportunity to on the active roster.

โ€œI thought he had a very successful preseason, had some production,โ€ Burkeย said, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. โ€œWe felt he had familiarity with the system. Since heโ€™s been in the building, heโ€™s done everything right. Heโ€™s earned that opportunity to have a shot.โ€

Jets

  • Jets HC Todd Bowles told reporters that they placed WRย ArDarius Stewartย on the practice squad injured list because he gotย his foot caught in the ground and injured his list. Bowles added that Stewart will be out “for a little while” but it’s not a season-ending issue. (Rich Cimini)
  • The New York Jets announced that TE Neal Sterling (concussion) and WR Charone Peake (hamstring) are both out for Week 4’s game.
  • The Jets also list S Marcus Maye (ankle/foot), CB Buster Skrine (knee), and S Doug Middleton (knee/finger) as questionable.
  • Jets WR Terrelle Pryor (groin) was full go on Friday and will play in Week 4’s game.

Patriots

Patriots HC Bill Belichickย said “we’ll see” when asked Friday if WR Josh Gordon would play this weekend.

โ€œJosh is working hard on and off the field,โ€ Belichick said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œHeโ€™s done everything he can do.โ€
