Tyler Conklin Active for Week 7 Despite Hip Injury

Tyler Conklin, the tight end for the New York Jets, has been cleared to play in the Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite dealing with a hip injury. Conklin was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game.

However, after consecutive limited practices, Conklin upgraded to full participation, indicating his readiness to take the field. This news is crucial for fantasy football managers and Jets fans, as Conklin has been a significant contributor to the team’s offense, particularly in games where he has seen increased targets.

In recent weeks, Conklin has had notable performances, including a 6-reception, 55-yard game against the Minnesota Vikings and a 5-reception, 93-yard game against the New England Patriots. His presence in the lineup is especially important given the Jets’ recent trade for wide receiver Davante Adams, which could potentially alter the team’s offensive dynamics.

Conklin’s health and performance will be closely monitored as the Jets face the Steelers on Sunday night, a game that could be pivotal in their season trajectory.
