Zonovan Knight (ankle) not on Jets Week 16 injury report

New York Jets running back Zonovan Knight (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Knight injured his ankle in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions, but there doesn't appear to be any concern about his availability on the short week. The undrafted rookie will continue to split backfield work with Michael Carter in Week 16. After averaging 5.3 yards per touch in his first three games, Knight only mustered 23 yards on 13 carries versus the Lions before exiting early.

numberFire's models project Knight for 11.0 opportunities and 47.9 yards on Thursday, and he has a $12,500 FanDuel salary on the single-game slate. Per our advanced efficiency metrics, the Jets have the No. 6 run defense and No. 29 pass defense in the NFL, so the backfield may have a tougher time than the passing game.
