December 7, 2008 Jets inactives: QB Brett Ratliff, K Mike Nugent, WR David Clowney, RB Marcus Mason, S Eric Smith, CB David Barrett, LB Jason Trusnik, TE Bubba Franks
Our View:On offense, wide receivers Laveranues Coles (thigh) and Jerricho Cotchery (shoulder) are active and will start. On defense, the Jets welcome back linebacker David Harris, who has missed the last five games with a groin injury.
November 28, 2008 Bubba Franks (hip) is listed as probable for the Week 13 matchup with the Broncos, according to Newsday.
Our View:Franks has only six receptions on the year and doesn't figure to be much of an option in the Jets passing attack yet again this weekend.
November 21, 2008 Bubba Franks who missed four games with a hip injury, is practicing and probably will play. according to the Daily News.
Our View:Franks does not figure to be much of a factor in the passing game as Dustin Keller has emerged as the team's top pass-catching tight end. Franks should see some action blocking for Thomas Jones and Leon Washington.
November 13, 2008 The following Jets players have been declared inactive for their Thursday night matchup with the Patriots: QB Brett Ratliff, TE Bubba Franks, WR David Clowney, LB David Harris, CB Drew Coleman, FS Eric Smith, RB Marcus Mason, PK Mike Nugent.
Our View:None of these decisions are a surprise. As expected, Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery will start despite being limited in practice.
November 11, 2008 Tight end Bubba Franks was unable to participate in the Jets practice on Tuesday with a hip injury, according to the Providence Journal.
Our View:Franks has only played in six games this year and doesn't look like he will be ready this week either.
