The final injury report for Week 12 has been released for the game between the New York Jets and the Baltimore Ravens. It appears the Jets will be getting starting cornerback Azareye’h Thomas back into the lineup after the rookie missed Week 11 with a concussion.

Thomas has been a full participant all week. In the aftermath of the Sauce Gardner trade, the rookie was elevated to the starting lineup. With the Jets out of the Playoff race and in full player development mode, the game reps for Thomas are important.

Will McDonald, who is nursing a quad injury, has been trending in the right direction all week. Although he is questionable, he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

On the Baltimore side, the status of Lamar Jackson remains interesting. Jackson missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. It never seemed particularly likely he would miss the game. He returned to practice Thursday and Friday and participated fully. The question is whether he will be playing compromised at all. Of course, taking on this Baltimore offense is a very tough task for the Jets defense even if Jackson is less than 100 percent.
