Ryan optimistic about Sanchez's knee injury

As Florio mentioned earlier this evening, Mark Sanchez left Thursday’s game after hurting his knee on an unsuccessful slide attempt.

The rookie never returned to action, but coach Rex Ryan didn’t sound overly concerned after the Jets win.

“We’ll see how it is.  I’m optimistic,” Ryan said.  “We feel pretty confident it’s just a sprain.”

Ryan said Sanchez will get an MRI on his right knee for “precautionary reasons.”  The Jets have ten days until they face the Buccaneers in Week 14.

    Who cares u really think the Jets are going to the playoffs?
    At this point articles should be about teams that are going to the playoffs or have a legitimate shot of going like the 49ers….

    I disagree, it should be about all the teams in the league, and all pro football. Not just playoff NFL teams.

    Did Girardi provide a money back guarantee?

    The Jets road is gonna be hard to even sniff the playoffs—last 4 games— Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Indy, & Cincy.

    Don’t all baseball players slide Headfirst now? Maybe they should have brought in Pete Rose to teach Sanchez how to slide

    sniperhare you are 100% correct should be about all teams. Even the Jets and Browns

    So, what we learn from this is Joe Girardi is a better team manager than a sliding coach….

    That’s what you get for bringing in a Yankees ex-catcher to teach Sanchez how to slide! The Jets should have brought in someone who actually stole some bases in his career – like Rickey Henderson!

    PLEASE don’t mention the Jets in the same light as the Brownies. Gimme a break! We’re not THAT bad!!!
