Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Not cleared to return Week 10
Rotowire
Mauigoa (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Mauigoa was able to log a full practice Friday, but he has not progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. He'll need to be assessed and cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for the Jets' next game Thursday against the Patriots. Mauigoa's absence means Ja'Markis Weston, Kobe King and Mykal Walker are candidates to start at linebacker.

Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Mauigoa (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Mauigoa entered the league's concussion protocol following the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals. The fifth-round rookie logged a full practice Friday and awaits the evaluation of an independent neurologist for permission to suit up for Sunday's game. As one of the Jets' starting outside linebackers, Mauigoa's potential absence would force either Mykal Walker, Ja'Markis Weston or Kobe King into a starting role.

Rotowire
Mauigoa (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Mauigoa entered the league's concussion protocol following the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals. He had additional time to progress in his recovery thanks to the Jets' Week 9 bye and was able to participate in Wednesday's practice. However, even if Mauigoa practices in full Thursday or Friday, he would need to clear an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be allowed to play against the Browns on Sunday. The rookie fifth-rounder has 34 tackles (13 solo) through the first eight regular-season games of his NFL career.

Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Avoids serious injury
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Mauigoa will be fine after sustaining a foot injury in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The 2025 fifth-round pick from Miami played 62 total snaps (49 on defense, 13 on special teams) prior to sustaining his foot injury, recording four total tackles. Glenn's comments Monday suggest Mauigoa avoided a serious issue and will travel with the team for the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos in London. However, if the injury is too much to overcome by Sunday, Mykal Walker could see increased work on the Jets' first-team defense.
