Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles, who has been hampered by a high ankle sprain, is questionable again because he reinjured the ankle in the training room the night before the game. He said the trainer's table fell on the ankle, and he lasted only one play against the New England Patriots. He had missed two of the five previous games because of the ankle.

Commentary: Injuries to Coles and fellow starting WR Jerricho Cotchery have hurt the Jets' offense as much as Kellen Clemens' inexperience has. Clemens needs both healthy for the Jets' coaches to gauge his progress, and that hasn't happened over the past six weeks.

Fantasy Football Impact: Coles was off to a good start, with six touchdowns in the first seven games. But, over the past two months, he has lost whatever explosiveness he had.
