Shell (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shell has started 29 games for the Jets over the past three seasons and didn't miss a single snap before a teammate rolled up on his knee in Week 15 of last season. After undergoing surgery in December, the 27-year-old is presumably close to full health if the Jets are allowing him to take the practice field in April.

Shell (knee) is facing a six-week recovery timetable, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shell's knee injury was initially thought to be more severe than a typical ACL/MCL/PCL issue, but further tests have led to a more optimistic recovery timetable. This is great news for the 26-year-old, who now appears on track to be available for offseason workouts.

Shell (knee) underwent knee surgery Thursday and does not yet have a recovery timetable, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Todd Bowles said that Shell's undisclosed knee issue is beyond the typical ACL/MCL/PCL injury. It's unclear what this means for Shell's future, but it appears that his availability for offseason workouts -- including training camp -- could be up in the air.

Shell (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets announce earlier Wednesday that Shell was out for the season as he requires knee surgery, so this move was to be expected. The specifics remain unclear, leaving the 26-year-old's status for offseason workouts up in the air. Brent Qvale should step in at right tackle for the final two games of the season.

Coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Shell (knee) is done for the season and will likely require surgery.
EDGE Analysis
Shell suffered a significant knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Texans, and will soon be placed on season-ending injured reserve. The fact that Shell will likely require surgery to address the knee injury puts his chances of recovering in time for offseason workouts in legitimate question. Brent Qvale is expected to draw the start at right tackle for the remainder of the 2018 regular season.

Coach Todd Bowles said Shell (knee) will have an MRI on Sunday but isn't optimistic about his status, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "I don't think he'll be back anytime soon," Bowles said.
EDGE Analysis
Shell was carted off the field during Saturday's game versus the Texans and didn't return. Based on Bowles' statement, there's a good chance the Jets, who are far from playoff contention, will choose to shut down Shell for the season regardless of the MRI results. Expect Brent Qvale to work at the starting right tackle moving forward.

Shell (knee) was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis

Shell (concussion) played 23 offensive snaps during Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Shell missed the 2017 regular-season finale due to a concussion, but he appears to be healthy as the 2018 regular season approaches. He's slated to serve as the team's starting right tackle again this season after starting 12 games in 2017.

Shell (concussion) was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Shell sustained a concussion in Week 16 and evidently wasn't able to clear protocol in time. He'll finish the season as Pro Football Focus' 51st highest-graded offensive tackle to date, struggling more in run blocking than pass protection.
