The New England Patriots have officially placed veteran guard Wes Schweitzer on the reserve/retired list, following an announcement from the team. Schweitzer, who signed with the Patriots as an unrestricted free agent from the New York Jets in March, played in the NFL for nine seasons. His experience included stints with the Jets, Atlanta Falcons, and Washington Commanders, where he recorded 90 regular-season appearances and 62 starts at various interior positions. Schweitzer was considered a contender for the starting left guard role in New England, but his retirement opens the door for Cole Strange to step into that position.

Heading into training camp, the left guard position will be crucial as the Patriots explore their options and determine the best fit for their offensive line. The decision to retire could impact the team's depth and strategy as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The New York Jets face potential setbacks ahead of their game against the Miami Dolphins, with cornerback Sauce Gardner and running back Breece Hall listed as doubtful due to injuries.

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich indicated that both players are likely to miss the game unless there are significant improvements. Gardner is dealing with a hamstring strain, while Hall is managing a knee issue that has been compounded by a recent hyperextension.

Additionally, linebacker C.J. Mosley will be placed on injured reserve, concluding his return from a neck injury. Despite these challenges, the Jets are set to activate wide receiver Allen Lazard and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer from IR.

The Miami Dolphins' injury report for Week 14 shows encouraging progress, with several players moving from not practicing to limited or full participation. Notably, cornerback Kendall Fuller is expected to return against the New York Jets.

In contrast, the Jets faced setbacks, with key players like C.J. Mosley and Qwan'tez Stiggers downgrading their practice status. Meanwhile, tackle Morgan Moses saw a slight improvement.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard is currently on injured reserve due to a chest injury, having missed the mandatory four games. However, there are positive signs regarding his return, as he has been a full participant in practice this week.

While there were concerns about the severity of his injury, expectations are that he will play again this season. His return could provide a much-needed boost to a struggling Jets offense.

The Miami Dolphins' Week 14 injury report highlighted several players returning from injury, including guard Isaiah Wynn and linebackers Bradley Chubb and Cameron Goode, who practiced for the first time this season. Long-snapper Blake Ferguson participated fully after being on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets reported four starters not practicing, including cornerback Sauce Gardner and running back Breece Hall. Rookie Olu Fashanu was limited due to a toe injury, while linebacker C.J. Mosley and others returned to full participation.
