The New York Jets had three players sitting out Wednesday's practice due to injury.

While the team preps to face the Buffalo Bills on November 19, veteran offensive tackle Billy Turner remains on the shelf with a surgically-repaired finger. The 32-year-old Turner missed Sunday night's game in Las Vegas after not practicing last week.

"We're in a walkthrough today. Billy Turner won't practice. Chazz Surratt won't practice. Sam Eguavoen is dealing with his hip so he won't practice," said Jets' third-year head coach Robert Saleh on Wednesday morning in Florham Park.

Turner suffered the injury against the Chargers on November 6, but the starting right tackle did not miss a snap in the Monday night affair. His Week 10 absence forced the Jets to move Max Mitchell back out to tackle while replacing Mitchell at right guard with Practice Squad call-up Xavier Newman.

Surratt and Eguavoen are important members of the Jets' special teams unit while also providing depth at linebacker. Surratt has missed the past two games due to an ankle issue. Eguavoen has appeared in all nine games thus far, but injured his hip against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. The veteran linebacker totaled 15 special teams snaps in the 16-12 setback. 

In addition to the three DNPs, the Jets have multiple players dealing with bumps and bruises. 

"You'll see a bunch of guys on the injury list that are either limited or full," said Saleh.

The official injury reports must be filed with the NFL by 4:00 pm ET. 

It's worth tracking whether receiver Garrett Wilson is amongst those names listed. Wilson temporarily left Sunday night's game and re-entered with a sleeve covering his right arm. Rookie defensive end Will McDonald, who missed the Week 10 game due to an ankle issue, will likely appear on the report.
