Jeremy Kerley (heel) has resumed practicing at Jets minicamp.
Kerley had some heel issues last year, but played in all 16 games. It's not a concern going forward as he slides back into his customary slot role. "It's good. I just made a bad cut earlier in OTAs. I just didn't want to make it worse," Kerley said. Jun 11 - 12:50 PM

Jeremy Kerley was "backed down" in Wednesday's practice with a "slight" heel issue.

It wouldn't normally be notable, but Kerley dealt with heel issues last season, and the status of Santonio Holmes (Lisfranc) and Stephen Hill (knee) remains up in the air. Each of the Jets' top three receivers are nicked even though they're over five months removed from their most recent game. They have a little less than two months to get healthy before camp.

Jeremy Kerley caught three balls for 88 yards in the Jets' Week 17 loss to Buffalo.

One of the Jets' few bright spots during an embarrassing 2012 campaign, 24-year-old Kerley established career highs in receptions (56), yards (827), and touchdowns (2) during his second NFL season. Kerley also has value on punt returns. Owed just $555,000 in 2013, Kerley will safely return as the Jets' slot receiver on all passing downs and should have a good chance to start.

Jeremy Kerley was held without a catch in New York's Week 16 loss to the Chargers.

With Greg McElroy getting the start at quarterback, New York's former No. 1 receiver drew only one target. Kerley has been a true bright spot for an otherwise moribund Jets team this season, but Gang Green's horrendous quarterback play has helped limit him to just eight catches over his past four games. The Jets will have to find an upgrade under center for Kerley to enter 2013 as a viable WR3.

Jeremy Kerley caught just one pass for 11 yards in Monday night's Week 15 loss to the Titans.

Kerley reeled in just one of his five targets, and it was a pretty nice catch on a third-down play. The other four passes that came his way were complete misfires by Mark Sanchez, with one ending up as an interception. With Braylon Edwards returning to the team, Kerley was relegated back to the No. 2 receiver role. He holds no fantasy value for Week 16 against the Chargers.

Jeremy Kerley caught four passes for 27 yards in Week 14 versus the Jaguars.

Kerley was targeted on six of Mark Sanchez's 19 throws, and he also ended up losing a fumble in the first half. Kerley missed a series or two in the opening 30 minutes with a hamstring issue, but it's not a long-term concern. In a run-heavy offense that sports a terrible quarterback, Kerley is no more than a WR4.

Jeremy Kerley (hamstring, heel) is practicing in full this week.

Kerley has taken up permanent residence on the injury report, but has yet to miss a game. Averaging a weekly 4/58.4/0.2, he's a WR4 for the fantasy playoffs.

Jeremy Kerley caught three balls for 37 yards in the Jets' Week 13 win over the Cardinals.

The Jets changed quarterbacks in the second half and accounted for only 126 passing yards as a team, so it would've been difficult to expect Kerley to rack up much production on his own. Kerley continues to be the Jets' best fantasy receiver, but he's more of a WR4 in PPR leagues as WR5 in standard scoring systems. We wouldn't be excited about Kerley in Week 14 at Jacksonville, regardless of whether the Jets start Mark Sanchez or Greg McElroy.

Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Kerley and Chaz Schilens (probable, concussion) were limited in practice this week, but both are fully expected to be available. Clyde Gates (concussion) has yet to receive medical clearance and is officially listed as doubtful.
Sat, Dec 1, 2012 09:36:00 PM

Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring, illness) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice.

Kerley was productive while playing through the nagging injuries last week, recording 86 yards on seven receptions. It was his first game over 60 yards since Week 7, however.

Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring, illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Kerley hasn't gotten in many full practices of late, but is coming off a seven-catch, 86-yard performance against the Patriots on Thanksgiving. He'll be a low-end WR3 against the Cardinals.
Wed, Nov 28, 2012 06:25:00 PM

Jeremy Kerley caught seven passes for 86 yards in Thursday night's Week 12 loss to the Patriots.

Kerley was targeted a team-high 11 times on the night after being questionable on the injury report with heel and hamstring issues. He hasn't found the end zone since Week 3, though, which is limiting his upside in fantasy circles. Kerley is clearly the Jets' No. 1 wideout, but he is no more than a WR3 in favorable matchups. The Jets will host Arizona's No. 5 pass defense in Week 13.
Fri, Nov 23, 2012 12:34:00 AM

Jeremy Kerley is active for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

The Jets' Week 12 inactives are QB Greg McElroy, RB Kahlil Bell, CB Aaron Berry, DL Damon Harrison, G Caleb Schlauderaff, G Hayworth Hicks, and TE Hayden Smith. Kerley was limited to 19-of-66 snaps in last week's win over the Rams, which is concerning for his Thanksgiving night playing time. Kerley barely participated in practice this week. He's dealing with hamstring and heel injuries.

Jets WR Jeremy Kerley (heel, hamstring) is officially listed as questionable on the Week 12 injury report.

Kerley was also questionable last week, but was able to play on Sunday, catching three passes for 43 yards. He will play in Thursday's divisional showdown against the Patriots.
Wed, Nov 21, 2012 04:07:00 PM

Jets WR Jeremy Kerley (hamstring, heel) expects to be a game-time decision for Thursday versus the Patriots.

Kerley was able to participate in a limited practice Tuesday, but admits there's still a lingering soreness from Sunday. He can't be trusted as a fantasy option after playing just 19 snaps in Week 11. The Jets' top three receivers will likely be Chaz Schilens, Stephen Hill, and Clyde Gates.
