New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker is expected to have an MRI on his ailing shoulder this week.

Decker did not practice on Wednesday and coach Todd Bowles told reporters that he's "not sure yet" if the veteran will play on Sunday (1 p.m. ET) as the Jets (1-2) host the Seattle Seahawks (2-1).

"Anybody that doesn't practice I'm concerned about," Bowles said. "He came back last week without practicing, so we just have to wait and see."

Decker, who initially sustained the injury in a rout versus Buffalo in Week 2, was limited to just one catch for 31 yards in a 24-3 setback to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The 29-year-old has nine receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Quincy Enunwa and rookie Robby Anderson will see additional snaps alongside veteran Brandon Marshall should Decker sit out versus Seattle.
