Jets' Ryan Fitzpatrick: Listed as active, but backing up Petty

Fitzpatrick (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Analysis:

While Fitzpatrick is in uniform, fellow QB Bryce Petty will make his NFL starting debut Sunday, while Fitzpatrick continues to nurse a knee injury. Assuming he's not pressed into action against the Rams, Fitzpatrick is thus in line to have some added healing time, with the Jets on bye in Week 11.
