Injury Update from Daryl Slater:

Here's the injury rundown from Monday, as we watched the rehab area:
• DE Leonard Williams (knee): He got hurt Saturday night against the Giants, but it's not a serious, long-term injury. Just a muscle strain. He wasn't going to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Eagles anyway. Will he be ready for the Sept. 13 opener against the Browns? That's still unclear. On Monday, he did some leg exercises in the rehab area while wearing a light brace/sleeve on his right knee.
• OLB Lorenzo Mauldin (knee): He has a knee sprain, and it's not clear whether he'll be ready for Week 1. But he had his helmet in the rehab area Monday, which is a possible indication that maybe he would get some work in practice. We'll have to check with coach Todd Bowles on this later.
• OLB Calvin Pace (groin): Bowles said on Saturday that Pace will be ready for Week 1. Even if he was healthy, he wouldn't play against the Eagles anyway. He rode a stationary bike in the rehab area Monday. No reason to push Pace this week.
• LG James Carpenter (unclear): He played the entire time with the starters against the Giants, so we don't know what's up with him. But he started Monday's practice in the rehab area, and then headed inside.
• DE Muhammad Wilkerson (hamstring): He came out of the Giants game fine, Bowles said. It was his first game of this preseason. Wilkerson got a little work in the rehab area (nothing major) before joining practice Monday. So he's OK. He got 26 snaps against the Giants.
• WR Devin Smith (ribs): He's still not close to fully returning from those broken ribs. But he a wore a red (non-contact) jersey Monday, an indication that he might once again get some action in position drills. During a special teams period, Smith caught balls fired from a Jugs machine on the side field.
• WR Jeremy Kerley (concussion): Kerley did some light running Monday. He didn't play against the Giants because of this concussion.
• TE Jace Amaro (shoulder): He still appears no closer to returning to practice. His status for Week 1 seems very much in question.
• CB Dee Milliner (wrist): He's still out. Might he land on short-term injured reserve?
• RB Stevan Ridley (knee): He's still on the physically unable to perform list. It seems likely he'll start the season there. He did some lateral shuffling work, at a decent rate of speed, in the rehab area Monday. Don't read too much into that, though. Bowles wants to see him do more serious cutting.
• LT Ben Ijalana (knee): It's also not clear if the backup left tackle will be ready for the Browns game. He is recovering from a sprained MCL.
• CB Dashaun Phillips (ribs): He is an extreme long shot to make the Jets' final, 53-man roster, which must be determined by Saturday afternoon.
• ILB Erin Henderson (knee): The backup middle linebacker also has an MCL sprain. Will he be ready for the opener? That's not clear. He did some light running in the rehab area Monday — a sign of progress for him.
• DE Ronald Talley (groin): He played 23 snaps against the Giants, but was getting some rehab area work on Monday nonetheless.
• DE Kevin Vickerson (hamstring): He wasn't active for the Giants game.
