Decker did not practice Wednesday after suffering a shoulder injury this past Sunday against the Chiefs, the Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Todd Bowles indicated that Decker -- who also missed practice last Wednesday with a shoulder issue -- will likely undergo an MRI in advance of Sunday's game against the Seahawks in order to determine the severity of his current ailment.

Decker had one catch on six targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets' passing game was abysmal Sunday, with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing six interceptions, including five in the second half. While the picks certainly didn't help, Decker was also not targeted all that much, as Quincy Enunwa (11), Brandon Marshall (10) and Bilal Powell (seven) all had more passes thrown their way. Unfortunately for Decker, the schedule doesn't provide much optimism that he'll bounce back, as the Jets will host the Seahawks in Week 4 before traveling to face the Steelers and Cardinals.

Decker (shoulder) was a full practice participant Friday and will play Sunday in Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that he wouldn't decide Decker's status until Sunday, but with Bowles apparently having a change of heart, the 29-year-old wideout has been cleared. Meanwhile, Brandon Marshall (knee) is questionable, potentially setting Decker up to get even more targets than usual.

Though Decker (shoulder) declared Thursday that he will "be ready to go" this weekend against the Chiefs, coach Todd Bowles indicated that he won't make a final decision on Decker's Week 3 status until Sunday, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage, Decker appears to be trending in the right direction as Sunday's game looms, having practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout Brandon Marshall has yet to practice this week.

Coach Todd Bowles relayed that Decker (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout Brandon Marshall (knee/foot) did not practice Thursday, with the duo trending toward being listed as questionable for Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff against the Chiefs. We'll revisit their status Friday, but at this stage Decker's Thursday practice participation -- albeit in a limited capacity -- bodes well for his chances of playing in Week 3.

Decker (shoulder) suited up in full uniform for Thursday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker sat out Wednesday's practice to give his injured shoulder some rest, but he suited up Thursday and was also spotted with a helmet, which indicates he could get some work in at Thursday's session.

Though Decker (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, he has said that he plans on playing against the Chiefs on Sunday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mehta suggests that he'd be very surprised if Decker didn't play this weekend, a more optimistic stance than the one he previously offered, suggesting that the wideout could emerge as a game-time decision for the contest. In any case, Decker owners are still advised to monitor his status as Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff approaches.

Decker (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, and he could be a game-time decision Sunday against the Chiefs, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
EDGE Analysis
Decker is coming off a huge 126-yard, one-touchdown game against the Bills last Thursday, and it's unclear exactly when he hurt his shoulder, as he wasn't able to practice Monday either. Brandon Marshall was held out of practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, and their absences would be a major blow to the Jets' passing game, with Quincy Enunwa the only other reliable option to show up this year.

Decker is currently dealing with a shoulder injury, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Decker was seen without his helmet at Monday's open portion of practice, suggesting he sat out the session. Although Decker finished Thursday's most recent game with an impressive six catches for 126 yards and a touchdown, he apparently hurt his shoulder along the way. At the moment, it's unclear whether that ailment will impact Decker's practice involvement beyond Monday, so his situation will have to be revisited as this week unfolds.

Decker secured six of eight targets for 126 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 37-31 victory over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran got loose downfield on multiple occasions and also brought in a five-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to cap off a seven-play, 77-yard drive that extended the Jets' lead to 20-7 at the time. Decker paced the Jets in receiving yardage on the night, while also equaling Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa with six receptions. Decker's eight targets were also encouraging, coming in second only to Marshall's nine. The three-time 1,000-yard receiver looks poised to thrive in what should be an aggressive downfield attack under offensive coordinator Chan Gailey.
