It looks like the Jets will be without their best player Monday when they face the Dolphins.

Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson’s toe injury is significant enough that he was in a boot Wednesday and did not practice.

“I think if you’re in a boot that doesn’t look good for this week,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “Hopefully, we get him back as soon as we can. Obviously, we need him.”

Ryan did not say exactly what the injury is nor which toe on which foot. He said he did not believe there was a fracture.

“I think it’s similar to a turf toe,” Ryan said. “My understanding is those things could be tricky. It might be one week. It might be two weeks. It might be whatever.”

With Wilkerson shelved, Ryan suggested outside linebacker Quinton Coples would move back to the defensive line, where he started his career in 2012.

“We are very fortunate that we have flexibility with a certain player,” Ryan said, who later clarified he was talking about Coples.

Wilkerson was not the only defensive lineman missing from practice. Sheldon Richardson was out with a back injury. Ryan did not sound concerned about Richardson missing the game.

“He’ll be eager to go and we anticipate him being able to, but we’ll see,” Ryan said.

Former Jets WR Wayne Chrebet was at the team’s headquarters Wednesday. He is being inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor at halftime Monday night.

Chrebet was asked his thoughts on this year’s team. He reminisced about being 3-13 in his first season and thinking it could not get any worse. The Jets went 1-15 the year after.

“It’s tough for them,” Chrebet said. “I see the look on their faces on the sideline and I read their quotes in the paper. The best advice I have is just to go out there and still find a way to have fun and take pride in it. It’s real easy to get distracted and look forward to the offseason when you’re mathematically eliminated more than halfway through the season.

“I’ve been there. These guys are playing for their contracts [and] playing for their jobs. I feel for them, but they’re not a 1-15, 3-13 kind of team. This team’s got more talent. They’re better. It’s just unfortunate injuries and some tough games and they haven’t pulled them out. It’s tough, but hopefully they finish the year strong.”

Rookie TE Jace Amaro is in the concussion protocol and was not at practice. If he can’t play, the team may sign Chris Pantale off the practice squad. … Ryan said he intends to play some of the younger players, mentioning rookie OLB Ikemefuna Enemkpali.
