C.J. Uzomah Status

rotoWire
Uzomah and the Jets agreed Wednesday to restructure his contract for the 2023 season that converts $4.5 million of his salary into a bonus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

What it means:

Uzomah's contract adjustment clears $3.6 million in cap space for the Jets, while it also makes it more difficult for New York to move on from the 30-year-old after this season considering that he's in line to account for more than $12.5 million against the cap in 2024, per Bridget Hyland of NJ.com. Uzomah, who tallied 21 receptions for 232 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games played in 2022, is once again slated to compete for snaps this year with fellow tight end Tyler Conklin.
rotoWire
Uzomah (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's season finale against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

What it means:

The soon-to-be 30-year-old tight end saw a season-high seven targets Week 17 in Seattle but apparently suffered an ankle injury in the process. He finishes his first year in New York with a 21-232-2 receiving line on 27 targets in 15 games (13 starts), while fellow 2022 offseason addition Tyler Conklin has seen more than triple that target total after signing a contract quite similar to Uzomah's. It is possible Uzomah competes for a larger role in the passing game in 2023, and he'll likely be back in New York given that $7 million of his $8 million base salary is guaranteed, per OverTheCap.

C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) questionable for Jets' Week 18 contest versus Miami

What it means:

New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) is questionable to play in Week 18's game against the Miami Dolphins. After missing Friday's practice with a hamstring injury, Uzomah's status is currently unknown. Expect Tyler Conklin to play more snaps versus a Miami defense ranked 30th (12.6) in FanDuel points allowed per game to tight ends if Uzomah is inactive. Uzomah's Week 18 FanDuel salary stands at $4,500.
rotoWire
Uzomah (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

What it means:

Coach Robert Saleh expects Uzomah to play, per Cimini, though Uzomah sat out practice entirely Friday. The Jets will wrap up the season with Joe Flacco under center, and while Flacco will likely throw plenty of short passes, Tyler Conklin stands to benefit more than Uzomah among Jets tight ends.
rotoWire
Uzomah caught three of seven targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

What it means:

Uzomah's season-high seven targets ranked second behind Garrett Wilson's 11, but fellow tight end Tyler Conklin was far more efficient with his opportunities, leading the team in catches (six) and receiving yards (80) on only six targets. Heading into the season finale against the Dolphins, Uzomah has 21 catches for 232 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets in his first year with the Jets.
rotoWire
Uzomah caught his only target for 30 yards in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

What it means:

Chris Streveler briefly gave the Jets some life on offense after replacing the ineffective Zach Wilson under center in the third quarter, but Streveler underthrew a wide open Uzomah. The veteran tight end did well to work back to the ball and secure the catch, but he would have had a long touchdown for a second consecutive week had Streveler hit him in stride.
