Poole hasn't practiced with pads since suffering a severe reaction to dehydration on the first day of training camp, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poole apparently has an undisclosed medical condition that made his reaction to dehydration so severe, and while he's been able to get on the field, the cornerback will need more time before being a full practice participant. The 27-year-old was superb for the Jets last year and was rewarded with a one-year, $5 million contract extension in March, so he's expected to log a major workload again this year, primarily as the team's top slot cornerback.

Poole was held out Sunday due to dehydration issues stemming from Friday's practice, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
An undrafted rookie in 2016, Poole has produced in each of his four seasons, boasting a per-16-game mark of 66.9 tackles. On top of that, he's contributed 24 pass defenses, five interceptions, five sacks, four fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one defensive TD in 61 regular-season contests. It appears his current absence is a precaution, but it remains to be seen when he'll be allowed back on the field.

Poole agreed Wednesday with the Jets on a one-year, $5 million contract extension, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poole's contract is fully guaranteed, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, essentially making this a valuable prove-it deal. While playing primarily out of the slot in 2019, the 27-year-old was one of the more consistent performers in New York's secondary.

Poole finished the 2019 season with 59 tackles and one interception.
EDGE Analysis
Poole made the most of his lone interception, returning it for a 15-yard touchdown against the Raiders in Week 12. The 27-year-old slot cornerback is an unrestricted free agent after spending one year with the Jets, but New York will likely push to bring Poole back given his consistency. He's recorded between 59 and 74 tackles in each of his four NFL seasons.

Poole (ankle) is active for Sunday's divisional contest against the Bills, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poole was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale in Buffalo, but he was always expected to take the field. He'll likely play his usual role as the Jets' top slot cornerback Week 17.

Poole (ankle) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Bills despite being officially listed as questionable, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poole was a late addition to the injury report Thursday because of the ankle issue, and as evidenced by this news, doesn't face any real danger of missing the season finale. Should he face a setback, however, Nate Hairston and Darryl Roberts would be the primary beneficiaries to see an increase in snaps.

Poole was limited in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Poole wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that his ankle issue may have been sustained during weekly practices. In any case, he doesn't yet appear to be in any danger of missing Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills.

Poole (concussion) is active for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Poole logged limited practices throughout the week and cleared the concussion protocol prior to the team's Week 16 contest. As a result, he will return to action after missing the past two games, likely serving as the team's primary slot cornerback.

Poole (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Poole missed the last two games due to the concussion and worked as a limited practice participant this week. The 27-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol to be able to play Sunday.

Poole (concussion) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poole was sidelined for the short practice week, so it's not surprising that he'll miss his second straight game. The 27-year-old has been a serviceable slot corner this year, allowing 7.4 yards per target and three touchdowns over 12 games. Poole is just one of the key injuries in New York's secondary -- Jamal Adams (ankle) and Arthur Maulet (calf) are both doubtful -- so the team's inevitable struggles against the Ravens could get worse.
