   Ruckert (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

   Ruckert was limited Wednesday and Thursday but managed to log a full session Friday, clearing the way for his availability for the Week 4 meeting with the Bears. With Mason Taylor (thumb) still sidelined, Ruckert should continue to be more involved. He might see the field even more Sunday if Kenyon Sadiq (back), who is questionable, can't suit up.

   Ruckert (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

   Ruckert marked his second straight limited practice in preparation for Week 4. The 26-year-old likely suffered the knee injury in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Lions, when he hauled in five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. If his status doesn't improve, the fifth-year pro could be in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Bears.

   Ruckert (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

   Ruckert may have picked up the injury during the Lions' 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3, when he hauled in all five of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown, which was the second score of his five-year NFL career. Ruckert, Mason Taylor (thumb) and Kenyon Sadiq (back) are all dealing with injuries, leaving Jelani Woods and Andrew Beck as the only healthy tight ends to begin Week 4 prep. Ruckert will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

   Ruckert played 29 offensive snaps, catching his sole target for four yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

   Ruckert played 43 percent of the offensive snaps for the Jets, showing the team's inclination towards 13-personnel. Despite slotting in as the No. 3 tight end, Ruckert seems slated to be regularly involved as a blocker and occasional tertiary target.
