Jets RB/KR Joe McKnight is certain he'll make the final roster.

"They're going to have to kill me to take my spot," McKnight said. "So, whoever they bring in, I don't care. I'm just going to make it a point to prove I'm going to be here." McKnight is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and he says new OC Marty Mornhinweg has been working him in the slot, too. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.5 YPC on 112 career totes and isn't a legit offensive threat.

Joe McKnight considers himself a legitimate contender for the Jets' starting running back job, and vows to be "a lot better" in 2013.

"I made that promise to myself," McKnight said. "If not, I'm going to die trying. I'm nowhere near close to where I want to go." McKnight also claims to have never had a single conversation with former OC Tony Sparano, but that he "loves" new OC Marty Mornhinweg. McKnight's fire is admirable, but he should remain a gadget player/special teamer this season.

Jets RB Joe McKnight rushed once for two yards in the team's Week 17 loss to Buffalo.

McKnight gained 179 yards on 30 carries (5.97 YPC) this season, but was curiously underutilized as a change-of-pace back behind plodders Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell. McKnight, also the Jets' primary kickoff returner, is still just 24 years old and due an affordable $575,000 in 2013. While he's almost certainly not the answer for the Jets' feature back woes, McKnight deserves a longer look in a complementary role from New York's next offensive staff.

Joe McKnight (ankle, illness) was downgraded to "DNP" in practice on Thursday.

McKnight was listed as a "full" participant on Wednesday with an ankle issue, so he was likely sent home sick on Thursday. He should be fine for Week 17 against the Bills as the Jets' No. 3 running back and kick returner.

Jets RB Joe McKnight was inactive in Week 14 after suffering three migraine headaches.

Coach Rex Ryan said his original plan was to keep three quarterbacks active -- Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, and Greg McElroy -- against the Jaguars, but the Jets were forced to deactivate McElroy and dress Kahlil Bell due to McKnight's migraines. McKnight has been thoroughly fantasy irrelevant this season.

Joe McKnight (ankle) is officially questionable for Thursday's game against the Patriots.

McKnight escaped Sunday's win over the Rams without setbacks, and will be active for New York's Thanksgiving nightcap with the Pats. He won't be in for more than 3-5 touches, however.
