Bart Scott (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Scott was ruled out Saturday, but should have a good chance of returning coming out of the Jets' Week 9 bye. In addition to Scott, QB Greg McElroy, RB Bilal Powell, S Eric Smith, DT Damon Harrison, TE Jeff Cumberland, and DT Kenrick Ellis have all been ruled inactive.

Bart Scott (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Scott didn't practice all week and was listed on the Week 8 injury report as doubtful. His streak of consecutive game played will officially come to an end. Demario Davis will replace Scott in the starting lineup on Sunday. TE Jeff Cumberland (hand) has also been ruled out.

It's expected Bart Scott will miss the Jets Week 8 contest against the Dolphins due to a toe injury. Scott's 119 consecutive game streak would come to an end if he does in fact sit out. With the bye looming in Week 9, Scott would essentially have three weeks to rest before the Jet's next game. Last week, the Jets pulled Scott from the nickel package in favor of rookie Demario Davis, who would get the start and likely play an every-down role with Scott on the sideline.

Jets ILB Bart Scott was removed from the nickel package in Week 7 due to what Rex Ryan described as a toe injury. Scott was not listed on the Week 7 injury report. He is a poor coverage player, so perhaps Ryan just came up with this convenient excuse to bench Scott on passing downs against New England's high-octane passing offense. Scott was replaced in the nickel by rookie Demario Davis, who racked up seven tackles (six solo). Scott had just one tackle and may lose the job permanently.

Jets LB Bart Scott threatened to punch a reporter for taking a picture of him as he exited the locker room. The reporter, Dan Leberfeld, who works for the website Jets Confidential and Sirius XM Radio, was reportedly doing a story on Scott's media boycott since training camp opened. This isn't the first incident like this we have seen out of Scott. He was fined $10,000 by the team for making an obscene gesture at a Post photographer in the locker room last January. The Jets released a statement yesterday saying they are looking into the incident. The NFL said it is a club matter and would not be investigated by the league.

Jets ILB Bart Scott says he recently had a "great conversation" with coach Rex Ryan, and that he's "comfortable" with his role. Scott also confirmed he's lost 10-15 pounds this offseason. "First time (I've) met abs five and six and I'm excited." Had Scott's $4.2 million 2012 salary not been fully guaranteed, he'd either be with a new club or on the open market.

Speaking at the owners meetings Tuesday, coach Rex Ryan said the Jets are planning to keep disgruntled ILB Bart Scott. However, Ryan said the Jets would like Scott to slim down heading into his age-32 season. ESPN New York reported last week that Gang Green was still shopping Scott after granting him permission to seek a trade in February, but that his $4.2 million salary continued to be a "deal breaker." Despite Ryan's comments, it's far from a given Scott will still be in New York come Week 1.

Jets ILB Bart Scott, granted permission to seek a trade, is reportedly interested in re-joining the Ravens. The Ravens have enough salary cap balancing to do without taking on Scott's $4.2 million salary. Should the Jets release Scott, though, GM Ozzie Newsome could view him as a fallback option in case free agent Jameel McClain signs elsewhere.

Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum indicated "all options are on the table" after Monday's report that ILB Bart Scott has been granted permission to seek a trade. "We're going to keep having discussions with him," said Tannenbaum. "We'll see where things go." Those options for Tannenbaum and Scott will likely be limited to keeping him or releasing him. No team is going to trade for his $4.2 million salary.
