November 8 evening update: Chiefs win 35-12

Kansas City beat the Jets 35-12 on Sunday. Jason Sanders made field goals from 23, 48, 49 and 54 yards, but New York scored no second-half points. The Jets’ five possessions after halftime ended with three punts and two turnovers on downs, according to the club’s game report.

Geno Smith completed 18 of 32 passes for 165 yards and was sacked five times. New York converted two of 12 third downs, compared with Kansas City’s six of 11. Breece Hall produced 87 scrimmage yards and David Bailey recorded two sacks and two forced fumbles. The Jets fell to 2-7.

November 8 update: final inactive list

The Jets’ Sunday inactive list confirms Garrett Wilson and Trevin Wallace will miss the 1 p.m. EST game at Kansas City. Blake Freeland, Kohl Levao, Joseph Ossai, Tim Patrick and Nahshon Wright are also inactive. Breece Hall and David Bailey are not on the list.

New York elevated linebacker Troy Reeder and offensive lineman Brant Banks from the practice squad Saturday. The final list leaves Wilson and Patrick unavailable at receiver, adding to the importance of the receiving options examined in the original November 6 report below.

The original report

Garrett Wilson and linebacker Trevin Wallace will miss Sunday’s game at Kansas City, Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday. Wilson leads New York with 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns. The Jets will have to replace that production on the road against the Chiefs.

Wilson took a hit from safety Jeremy Chinn after a 15-yard catch on the Jets’ next-to-last play against Las Vegas. Chinn drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Wilson reported symptoms Monday, according to Glenn, and the Jets confirmed Wednesday that he had entered the concussion protocol.

Two receivers coming off very different Sundays

Adonai Mitchell gained a career-high 142 receiving yards against the Raiders. Omar Cooper Jr. had posted consecutive 100-yard games before going without a target in the same loss, ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported. Mitchell gives New York a receiver already making big gains. Getting Cooper involved again would give Kansas City a second receiver to account for.

The 2-6 Jets visit Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, November 8. Kickoff is 1 p.m. EST, noon in Kansas City. CBS carries the game in the New York market.
