WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Brent Qvale has taken a pragmatic approach to his NFL playing career.

So far, that plan has worked out quite nicely.

The former Williston High School standout recently finished his fifth season with the New York Jets and knows nothing is ever guaranteed in America's most popular sport.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets placed right tackle Brandon Shell on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday with a knee injury.

Shell was hurt last Saturday in the Jets' loss to Houston. He was carted off the field in the third quarter after left guard Spencer Long rolled into his left leg. Shell immediately grabbed at his knee as trainers ran onto the field to check on him.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have re-signed offensive lineman Dakota Dozier.

The Jets also announced Friday that offensive lineman Brent Qvale has signed his restricted free agent tender, worth $1.907 million this year.

Both Dozier and Qvale add depth and versatility to an offensive line that includes newcomers Spencer Long and Travis Swanson.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets have tendered wide receiver Quincy Enunwa at the second-round level, worth $2.9 million.

Enunwa was a restricted free agent after missing last season with a bulging disk in his neck that required surgery. He had a breakout season in 2016, catching 58 passes for 857 yards and four touchdowns.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets right guard Brian Winters will not play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday because of an abdominal injury.

Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that either Dakota Dozier or Brent Qvale will replace Winters.

Defensive end Leonard Williams completed the NFL's concussion protocol after being injured last Sunday at New Orleans and was a full participant at practice.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Brent Qvale has dealt with it all his life, people looking at his last name funny before absolutely butchering it.

It's those first two letters — the Q and that wacky V — that have turned his family's name into an absolute tongue twister for some.

"Yeah, a lot of people just say, 'Q-Vale,' which is the usual, and it makes sense, I guess," the New York Jets offensive lineman said with a smile. "Some just pronounce it like, 'Quail.'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets starting cornerback Buster Skrine and right tackle Brandon Shell won't play against the Atlanta Falcons because of injuries.

Skrine suffered a concussion last week at Miami and has been in the league's protocol for head injuries. He sat out practice all week, and coach Todd Bowles ruled him out Friday.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets will be without starting right guard Brian Winters for their home opener Sunday against the Miami Dolphins because of an abdominal injury.

Winters was injured last Sunday at Oakland and replaced by fourth-year backup Dakota Dozier. Coach Todd Bowles says Friday that Dozier and Brent Qvale split the snaps this week during practice, but he had not yet decided on who would start.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Matt Forte is questionable to play and will be a game-time decision against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night with a knee injury.

Forte tore the meniscus in his right knee early in New York's 23-17 overtime win at San Francisco last Sunday.

Starting cornerback Buster Skrine is out with a concussion. Rookie Juston Burris and Marcus Williams will likely see increased snaps.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Matt Forte practiced on a limited basis and will likely be a game-time decision against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night.

Forte sat out practice Wednesday with an injured right knee, but was able to participate in some of Thursday's session. That's an encouraging sign for the 31-year-old running back who leads the Jets with 792 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets right tackle Breno Giacomini and defensive tackle Steve McLendon were among six players ruled out Friday for the game at San Francisco on Sunday.

Linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin, wide receiver Jalin Marshall, cornerback Antonio Allen and running back Khiry Robinson also will not play because of injuries. Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is questionable to play with an injured ankle.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets center Nick Mangold is doubtful to play Sunday at Miami because of a sprained ankle that also sidelined him last weekend.

Mangold, who has missed just five games in his NFL career, will likely be replaced again by Wesley Johnson.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Center Nick Mangold, left tackle Ryan Clady and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson are among seven New York Jets players to not participate in practice for a second straight day because of injuries.

Mangold missed last week's win at Cleveland with a sprained ankle, as did rookie linebacker Darron Lee. Coach Todd Bowles says "there's hope, but it's slim hope" that the two could play Sunday at Miami.

Clady is dealing with an ailing shoulder, while Wilkerson has a sore ankle.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have activated right tackle Breno Giacomini from the reserve/physically unable to perform list, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

To make room on the roster Saturday, the Jets waived wide receiver Jeremy Butler.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets rookie linebacker Darron Lee will not play against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday because of a sprained ankle.

Lee, the team's first-round draft pick in April, is the Jets' leading tackler with 34. He was hurt during the third quarter of New York's 28-3 loss at Arizona on Monday night.

Coach Todd Bowles has already ruled him out for this week, saying Thursday that he's hoping the injury won't keep Lee sidelined for multiple weeks.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets rookie linebacker Darron Lee has a sprained ankle, and the first-round draft pick's availability is uncertain for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker returned to practice on a limited basis after sitting out with a sore shoulder, while Brandon Marshall was out for a second straight day because of knee and foot ailments.

Decker says Thursday that he'll "be ready to go" against the Chiefs on Sunday in Kansas City.

Marshall appears to be more of an uncertainty and could be a game-time decision, although he said earlier in the week that he hopes to play.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets might go with rotating right tackles in their regular-season opener — and maybe beyond.

Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that both Ben Ijalana (EYE-juh-LAH-nuh) and Brent Qvale (KWAH-lee) could play the position against Cincinnati on Sunday.

"Until it sorts itself out, yes," Bowles said. "It's possible."
