K Jay Feely, who was signed after Mike Nugent suffered a strained right thigh during a first-quarter kickoff in the Jets' opening-day win over Miami, missed from 31 yards and connected from 21 against New England and was 1-for-1 against San Diego, hitting from 32 yards. Nugent will miss the Arizona game but could return after the Jets' bye week.

RB Jesse Chatman was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's policy on steroids and related substances. The Jets still are short-handed at the position with only two true running backs on the roster, Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, and it appears they simply will wait for Chatman to come back rather than sign someone. This game is the last one Chatman must sit out.

PLAYER NOTES

--P Ben Graham was re-signed after Reggie Hodges, who was signed to replace Graham, suffered a hamstring injury. Graham had a net of 38.0 yards on two punts versus the Chargers on Monday night.

--WR Marcus Henry, who was waived to make room for P Ben Graham, was re-signed, but to the practice squad, which means another team could sign him. The Jets like the potential of the 6-foot-4 rookie.

--WR Brad Smith has zero receptions in the first three games as Chansi Stuckey has surpassed him as the team's No. 3 receiver. Smith has been bothered by a knee injury.

--K Mike Nugent (thigh) will miss his third straight game when the Jets host Arizona.

--CB Justin Miller (toe) was inactive for the third consecutive game when the Jets visited San Diego.

GAME PLAN: The Jets would like to get their running game going again after Thomas Jones was limited to 37 yards rushing and lost a key fumble at San Diego. Plus, that would help take some of the load off a gimpy Brett Favre. The defense will have its hands full against an Arizona offense led by 37-year-old Kurt Warner. Much like Favre, the passage of time hasn't much affected Warner's arm strength, and he has two big-time receivers to throw to in Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. The Jets need to get pressure on the QB, something they were unable to do against the Chargers.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Jets CB Dwight Lowery vs. Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin. The Jets likely will match CB Darrelle Revis against Larry Fitzgerald, which figures to leave Lowery on Boldin much of the time. Lowery can make plays on the ball, and has five pass breakups in his first three games as a pro, but he also allowed two touchdowns against San Diego. He had good coverage against TE Antonio Gates on one, not-so-good against WR Vincent Jackson on the other.

Jets QB Brett Favre vs. Cardinals pass rush. The veteran Favre, nursing a gimpy ankle, knows he needs to get rid of the ball quickly so as to lessen the chances of being sacked. Look for him to throw a lot of his trademark slants and in-cuts, particularly to Laveranues Coles, to loosen up the Chargers secondary. Favre was sacked only 15 times last season; he's been taken down eight times in three games in 2008.

INJURY IMPACT:

--QB Brett Favre (ankle) practiced limited Thursday but wasn't limping as badly as he was Wednesday, and his mobility might not be that impaired when he plays Sunday against Arizona.

--NT Kris Jenkins (back) practiced limited Thursday and is expected to play against Arizona. Jenkins didn't do any 11-on-11 work at all Wednesday, but did some Thursday.

CB Justin Miller (toe) is getting healthier and could return to action against Arizona, although the Jets seem to like rookie Dwight Lowery as the starter at right corner. Lowery obviously is less experienced than Miller, but has better technique. Jay Feely again will fill in for Mike Nugent (thigh) on placekicks.
