Ruled out against Cincy
Tufele (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tufele will miss at least one game after sustaining a knee injury in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers. Jowon Briggs is the team's lone available backup defensive tackle behind Quinnen Williams and Harrison Phillips, though the Jets could opt to rotate in some of their defensive ends on the interior.
