Eric Decker, David Nelson listed questionable
New York Jets star wide receiver Eric Decker has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury over the past couple of weeks, as the former Denver Broncos No. 2 wideout first suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers after pacing the offense with four catches for 63 yards and a TD. He added another four catches and a TD with 48 yards in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, but it’s clear that he’s operating at less than 100% due to the injury, which he aggravated in Week 3’s Monday Night Football loss to the Chicago Bears.

The Jets will face the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, and Decker is set to be a game-time decision for the third straight week. According to the New York Daily News’s Manish Mehta, Decker and fellow wide receiver David Nelson are both listed questionable for Sunday’s game, and both players will make the trip to San Diego.
Nelson is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered last week, and it looked like a major injury when it first happened. He was never expected to play this week, but the tides have evidently turned. He’s made big improvements on the health front (enough to be listed questionable and have a legit shot at playing), but I think he sits this one out.
