The New York Jets will be without cornerback Michael Carter II when they host the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

Carter injured his back in pregame warmups prior to New York's 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week and was on the field for just one play. He missed practice this entire week before being ruled out Saturday.

The Jets listed five-time Pro Bowl linebacker C.J. Mosley (toe) as questionable and he could return after a three-game absence. He was limited in practice all week.

"We steadily have just progressed him as far as the reps that he takes at practice," New York interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. "He's felt the best he's felt in a while this week, so we're hopeful."

Tight end Tyler Conklin (hip) also was listed as questionable.

Right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) is slated to return after a two-game absence. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) practiced in full Saturday and is good to go.
