Brenden Bates played a significant role in the Jets' tight end committee, taking eight snaps in 12 personnel while Tyler Conklin only managed nine. This shift in usage came as the Jets adjusted their strategy after falling behind early in the game. Bates’ increased involvement indicates the team's desire to diversify their tight end play, especially given Conklin's struggles in run blocking.

Brenden Bates is listed as inactive for the New York Jets in their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers, indicating he will not be participating in this matchup.
