Patriots-Jets Inactives: New England Depth Chart Changes At Key Position

Both the New England Patriots and New York Jets will be without a defensive captain when they take the field at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night.

Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley is inactive due to a toe injury he suffered in Week 2. New York all but confirmed Mosley's status three hours before kickoff with a behind-the-scenes social media post.

Four Patriots -- center David Andrews, offensive tackle Mike Onwenu, safety Jabrill Peppers and defensive end Deatrich Wise -- were deemed questionable entering the contest. All four are active.

Here are the inactives for the Patriots:
LB Ja'Whaun Bentley
QB Joe Milton III
CB Marco Wilson
DE Jamree Kromah
OT Vederian Lowe
OL Sidy Sow

And the inactives for the Jets:
OT Max Mitchell
OT Carter Warren
RB Israel Abanikanda
DE Eric Watts
CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse
LB C.J. Mosley

Wilson is a healthy scratch after the fourth-year cornerback struggled in each of the first two games this season. Wilson was assessed a costly pass interference penalty against the Seattle Seahawks and was a dud in the season-opening win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cornerbacks Alex Austin and rookie Marcellas Dial Jr. will serve as the top backups behind Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones.

Patriots linebacker Joe Giles-Harris was elevated to New England's active roster. Giles-Harris will provide some depth with defensive captain Ja'Whaun Bentley ruled out Wednesday. Bentley, the team's leading tackler each of the last three seasons, reportedly suffered a season-ending pec injury.

The Patriots on Wednesday also ruled out left tackle Vederian Lowe, guard Sidy Sow and edge rusher Oshane Ximines. Sow has missed three straight games while Ximines was placed on injured reserve.

Patriots rookie Caedan Wallace is expected to serve as New England's starting left tackle in place of Lowe. Wallace will be the third starting left tackle in as a many games for the Patriots. Michael Jordan has replaced Sow at left guard each of the first two contests, and figures to do the same against the Jets.

Kickoff from MetLife Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
