FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Revis Island appears open for business again. New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis fully participated in practice Friday for the first time since suffering a concussion three weeks ago.

He’s listed as probable for the Jets’ game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

“He still has to be cleared by one more doctor,” Coach Todd Bowles said. “Pending that clearance, he’ll be good to go.”

Revis has been in the NFL’s concussion protocol since the injury on Nov. 22 at Houston. Players need to clear a series of neurological tests before they are cleared to participate in games.

“If he passes the test, I’ll be encouraged,” Bowles said.

Revis didn’t wear a red no-contact jersey, as he did Thursday, when he said after practice that he expects to play. Last Friday, he attended meetings for the first time since the injury and gradually returned to the practice field this week. He attended on Wednesday, did light running and was limited Thursday.

Despite the Jets’ going 2-0 in his absence, Revis’ return will be a boost to the secondary.

“You’re still talking about one of the best corners in the game,” defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said Thursday. “Any time you can have him with you, you feel a lot better. We like any matchup he’s on.”

Marcus Williams, Revis’ backup, is questionable with a sprained knee that kept him out against the Giants last Sunday. Linebacker Calvin Pace (abdomen) was limited at practice, as was Williams, but is probable to play against Tennessee.

GIANTS: The team waived talented but frustrating defensive end Damontre Moore, General Manager Jerry Reese announced Friday, saying it was in the best interest of both parties.

Moore was in his third season with the team and had played in 11 of the Giants’ 12 games. He was inactive against Dallas on Oct. 25 after Coach Tom Coughlin benched him for a late hit on a quarterback against Philadelphia the previous week.

Moore had 17 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and five special teams tackles this season.

WASHINGTON: The team signed free agent running back Pierre Thomas to bolster a ground game that has been unproductive most of the season.

Thomas was released in March by the Saints after eight seasons in New Orleans, then spent one week last month with the San Francisco 49ers. He had four carries for 12 yards in his only game with the 49ers.

DOLPHINS: Receiver Jarvis Landry is nursing a knee injury that limited him in practice Friday. He was added to the injury report in advance of Monday’s game against the Giants.

TITANS: Wide receiver Kendall Wright will not play Sunday against the Jets after injured ribs kept him out of practice all week.

Wright was hurt last week in Tennessee’s win over Jacksonville, and this latest injury adds to a disappointing season for the receiver, who missed three games earlier this season with a sprained MCL in his left knee.

JAGUARS: Jacksonville will be without middle linebacker Paul Posluszny against Indianapolis on Sunday because of hand surgery.

Posluszny had three plates inserted into his right hand on Wednesday after breaking it last week at Tennessee. The Jaguars believe he might play next week against Atlanta with his hand heavily wrapped.

CHIEFS: Linebacker Justin Houston will miss his second straight game because of a hyperextended knee. Kansas City hosts to San Diego on Sunday.

Houston injured the knee in the Nov. 29 game against the Buffalo Bills.

BILLS: Right guard John Miller will return after missing two games with an ankle injury when the Bills face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The rookie third-round pick has started eight games this season.

SEAHAWKS: Running back Marshawn Lynch has rejoined the team as he continues to recover from abdominal surgery last month.

Lynch was at the team’s facility earlier this week and Coach Pete Carroll said on Friday that it will be “week-to-week” regarding when Lynch might rejoin practice.
