QB Mark Sanchez has decided to have surgery on his left knee and is expected to be ready for training camp. The Jets said earlier today that the operation will happen in the next few weeks. The surgery, believed to be arthroscopic in nature, will strengthen the patella-stabilizing ligament. Jets orthopedist Ken Montgomery will perform the surgery. Sanchez originally injured his left knee while playing at USC.
The New York Jets listed 8 players as "probable" for the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. Although DE Shaun Ellis, who has a broken hand, is more "questionable" than "probable" for this game. Ellis will give it a go but he has trouble grabbing and if he feels he's hurting the team, he'll take himself out.
DE Shaun Ellis, FB Tony Richardson and RB Thomas Jones were back on the field today after missing yesterday's practice session. Ellis, who has a broken hand and a banged up knee, was limited. Richardson (rib) and Jones fully participated in the practice session.

DE Shaun Ellis and FB Tony Richardson missed today's practice due to injuries suffered last Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Ellis has a broken hand but is expected to play against the Colts. Richardson has a rib injury and was held out for precautionary reasons. He should be ready for Sunday as well. RB Thomas Jones also sat out this practice session, just like in the previous few weeks.

DE Shaun Ellis broke his hand on the Jets' first defensive play in their 17-14 win at San Diego on Sunday. He says his hand "just gave out" when he was blocked by an offensive lineman.
The Jets are pretty much healthy and ready to go. Although the Gang Green have 8 players on the injury report, all of them are listed as "probable" and will be available for Sunday's Divisional Playoff game against the San Diego Chargers.
QB Mark Sanchez is listed as "probable" for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons and going to start. He will wear braces on his both knees.

QB Mark Sanchez was limited in practice this morning after missing last game with a knee injury. He split first team reps with QB Kellen Clemens who replaced him last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Head coach Rex Ryan said that he will name the starter for the game against the Atlanta Falcons later in the week. Although it's pretty obvious that Sanchez is going to start unless he reinjures his knee.
December 11, 2009Jets vs. Buccaneers Final Injury Report
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
As we have known for a few days now, rookie QB Mark Sanchez will miss his Sunday's game against Tampa Bay due to a knee injury. Sanchez suffered a sprained PCL last Thursday against the Buffalo Bills. QB Kellen Clemens will start in Sanchez' place.
The New York Jets placed special teams ace LB Larry Izzo on injured reserve, ending his season and probably career as well. The 14-year veteran, one of Mike Westhoff's favorites, was in his first season with the Jets after spending 8 seasons with New England and 5 with Miami. He recorded 7 tackles for the Gang Green this season and forced one fumble.
QB Kellen Clemens will start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, as QB Mark Sanchez is unable to play due to his sprained right knee, head coach Rex Ryan announced today. Ryan added that he made the decision not to have Sanchez play after seeking the advice of team doctors.
Rookie QB Mark Sanchez spent today's practice session on a stationary bike, trying to rehab his injured knee. He suffered a slight tear in his posterior cruciate ligament last Thursday night against the Bills and has been rehabbing about 18 hours per day, according to head coach Rex Ryan. Another missed day of practice makes it quite doubtful that Sanchez will be able to suit up on Sunday. If Sanchez does play, he'll have a brace on both knees. He has been wearing a brace on his left knee since college.
According to various news sources, QB Mark Sanchez suffered a a sprained posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and if he can handle the pain, he would be able to play December 13 at Tampa against the Buccaneers.
November 20, 2009Leonhard Limited In Practice, Upgraded To Questionable

S Jim Leonhard, who broke his finger last Sunday and had surgery earlier this week, was back in practice this morning and is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. His availability for the game will be a game-time decision. LB Vernon Gholston (hamstring) missed all practice sessions this week and is out.
November 18, 2009Leonhard Misses Practice, Will Not Play On Sunday
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
S Jim Leonhard, who had surgery on his broken thumb earlier this week, missed today's practice and will not play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Leonhard was injured when he tried to tackle Jags running back Maurice Jones-Drew on his 33-yard first-quarter touchdown in the Jets’ 24-22 loss last Sunday. He left the game briefly but returned and finished the game, recording seven tackles and a sack. S Eric Smith is expected to start in his place. Smith played an important role in the Week 2 win over the Patriots, blitzing Tom Brady a total of 17 times.
S Jim Leonhard suffered a broken thumb in yesterday's game against the Jaguars and is scheduled to have surgery today. It's not known at this time how many games he's going to miss if any at all.
CB Lito Sheppard will not start on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite being able to fully participate in all practice sessions this week. Head coach Rex Ryan said that "Even though he’s practiced fully, I don’t think Lito’s all the way back yet. We’ll evaluate and see how much he plays. I think we’ll start Dwight Lowery." So, CB Dwight Lowery, who has started in 4 games this season, will start again against Jacksonville.
LB Vernon Gholston will most likely not play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars as he's missed his second straight practice today with a hamstring injury, which he suffered during Monday's walkthrough practice. Gholston, who was picked 6th overall in 2008, has been a major disappointment on the field. He is yet to register a sack in the NFL and has been a non-factor in limited action on defense and special teams this season despite starting in the position vacated by LB Calvin Pace who was suspended for the first four games of the season. WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) was very limited in practice, and he looks to be a long shot for Sunday.
All Jets players practiced for the second consecutive day this morning, although WR David Clowney (ankle), WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DE Shaun Ellis (knee, ankle), LB Bart Scott (knee), CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) were limited. All are expected to play on Sunday against Miami with the exception of Sheppard, who will most likely be a game-time decision.

WR David Clowney (ankle), CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) and OG Brandon Moore (foot) all returned to practice this morning after missing yesterday's session. The trio, along with WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DE Shaun Ellis (knee, ankle), LB Bart Scott (knee), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) and OT Damien Woody (foot) all saw limited action in the practice session. Rex Ryan said Sheppard is in the questionable to doubtful range.
October 26, 2009Jets Place Leon Washington On Injured Reserve
posted by: Site Admin | 1 comments | Injuries
The New York Jets have placed RB Leon Washington on the injured reserve list, which means that he's out for the remainder of the 2009 season. Washington suffered a compound fracture of his right tibia and fibula on his first and only carry in yesterday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Following the game, Washington underwent a 2-hour emergency surgery where a rod was placed in his tibia to stabilize the fracture. The fibula will heal on its own and the surgery was successful. He will remain in Oakland under doctors’ observation and he may return to New York as soon as Wednesday.
WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) and CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) will all miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. CB Donald Strickland (ankle) and OT Damien Woody (knee, foot) are both listed as "questionable" and expected to play. Strickland will finally see action after missing the previous four games due to an ankle injury.
October 23, 2009Cotchery And Smith Will Not Play Against Raiders
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to hamstring and quadriceps injuries respectively. While Cotchery will most likely be ready for the Dolphins next week, Brad Smith could be out next week as well, according to head coach Rex Ryan. WR David Clowney will make his second start in a row, replacing Cotchery in the starting lineup. CB Lito Sheppard, who returned last week after missing the previous three games and reaggravated his quadriceps injury, will not play on Sunday as well.
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith, who missed Sunday's game against the Bills, returned to practice this morning. Cotchery was out with a hamstring injury, while Smith missed last game due to a quadriceps injury. CB Lito Sheppard, however, did not practice. Sheppard was back in action on Sunday after missing three previous games. He started but could not finish the game, as he seemed to have reaggravated his quadriceps injury.
If losing to the Buffalo Bills wasn't bad enough for the Gang Green, then losing NT Kris Jenkins for the entire season just made everything even worse. Jenkins was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring) and WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) have not practiced this week and are listed as "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. It's pretty safe to assume that neither is going to play on Sunday. Although head coach Rex Ryan has stated that the availability of both receivers will be a game-time decision. OT Damien Woody (foot), another player who has not practiced this week, is listed as "questionable" but expected to play. DE Shaun Ellis (knee) is also listed as "questionable." He did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was limited this morning. CB Donald Strickland is also "questionable", he missed the last three games but is expected to suit up on Sunday.
It's now almost a certainty that WR Jerricho Cotchery will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury. Cotchery sat out his second day of practice in a row this morning. WR Brad Smith (quad) also did not practice for the second straight day and is doubtful to play on Sunday. WR David Clowney was getting reps with the first team along with WR Braylon Edwards. TE Dustin Keller was lining up wide in three receiver sets.
WR Jerricho Cotchery sat out this morning's practice session with a hamstring injury. He was listed as "questionable" for the game against Miami but did play and caught one pass for 4 yards. This time, however, it looks more like Cotchery will not suit up against the Bills.
October 9, 2009Cotchery Misses Practice But Expected To Play
posted by: Site Admin | 1 comments | Injuries
WR Jerricho Cotchery missed this morning's practice session with a hamstring injury. Cotchery, who was limited in practice yesterday, spent the entire session riding a stationary bike on the sidelines. Head coach Rex Ryan stated that Cotchery is not 100% (obviously) but has not been ruled out for the Monday Night game. Ryan added that he expects Cotchery to play. The Jets will also practice tomorrow, as they have an extra day before the Dolphins game.
With 4 days left until the Monday Night game against the Miami Dolphins, the New York Jets have 8 players on their injured report. Both OT Damien Woody (foot) and CB Donald Strickland (ankle) did not participate in today's practice, which usually means that their game day status will be either "out" or "doubtful." Strickland will most likely miss the MNF game, while Woody is expected to play. WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), S Kerry Rhodes (knee) and CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) all saw limited action this morning - usually means "questionable" status on game day. LB Larry Izzo (hamstring), S Jim Leonhard (knee) and LB Bryan Thomas (wrist) fully participated in the practice session and will most likely be listed as "probable."
October 7, 2009Sheppard Back In Practice, Edwards Will Play On Monday

Injured CB Lito Sheppard practiced for the first time in two weeks this morning. He has missed the last two games with a quadriceps injury. CB Donald Strickland, who has also missed the last two games with an ankle injury, did not practice. OT Damien Woody did not practice either and his availability for the Monday Night game is a question mark. He suffered an ankle injury against the Saints. Another player who got injured on Sunday, rookie RB Shonn Greene, participated in the practice session as well.
As it's been reported earlier both CB Lito Sheppard (quadricep) and CB Donald Strickland (ankle) are going to miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. They were also out last week against the Titans. CB Dwight Lowery will start in place of Sheppard, while CB Drew Coleman will play nickel.
October 2, 2009Both Sheppard and Strickland Out Against New Orleans

Head coach Rex Ryan has announced that both CB Lito Sheppard and CB Donald Strickland are going to miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Both players got injured two weeks ago against the Patriots. Sheppard has a quadriceps injury, while Strickland is out with a high ankle sprain.
As we reported earlier today, CB Lito Sheppard (quad), CB Donald Strickland (ankle) and S Jim Leonhard (knee) did not practice this morning. Now it appears that both CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring) and S Kerry Rhodes (knee) were added to the injury report as well and limited in practice this morning. So, basically the entire Jets' secondary is now on the injury report (4 starters and the nickel back).
September 25, 2009Jets Try Out Cornerbacks, Final Injury Report
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
It's now official that both CB LIto Sheppard and CB Donald Strickland will not play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. CB Dwight Lowery will start in place of Sheppard, while CB Drew Coleman will replace Strickland at nickel.
The New York Jets injury report keeps filling up, as the team now has 14 players on the list. Both CB Lito Sheppard and CB Donald Strickland did not practice again this morning. Neither player has practiced this week at all. Strickland has been basically ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, while it looks like the availability of Sheppard will be a game time decision. Even if Sheppard plays, it's doubtful that he'll be able to start and play on most downs. CB Dwight Lowery, who started 10 games in his rookie season last year, would start and CB Drew Coleman would play the nickel.
The New York Jets have eight players on the official injury report. NT Kris Jenkins (back), DT Sione Pouha (ankle), WR Wallace Wright (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. QB Kellen Clemens (right elbow), DE Mike Devito (hamstring), RB Shonn Greene (rib), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle), LB Jamaal Westerman (quadricep) are listed as probable.
With less than 48 hours left until the season opener, the Jets currently have 6 players on their injured list. DE Mike DeVito is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. He's been limited in practice the last two days. QB Kellen Clemens (elbow), RB Shonn Greene (ribs), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle), WR Wallace Wright (knee) are all listed as probable and have fully participated in practice sessions this week. TE Dustin Keller was added to the injury list with a toe problem, but practiced and should be ready to go on Sunday. Also, if you follow Keller's updates on twitter (or the feed we have on this website), he is going to the Yankee game tonight (if the rain stops) along with QB Mark Sanchez and S Kerry Rhodes. So, apparently his toe is not bothering him that much.
According to various reports, MLB David Harris will miss at least two to three weeks after having surgery on his injured groin. Harris, who leads the Jets with 52 tackles in his second season, had a procedure Wednesday to repair the injury.
