Sanchez injures his right knee

On Sunday, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez injured his left knee while being tackled by Carolina cornerback Richard Marshall.

On Thursday night, Sanchez injured the right knee, apparently while diving for a first down, displaying a sliding technique more similar to Pete Rose than Derek Jeter. 

During the next play, Sanchez pulled up limping after making a handoff. 

After that play, he hurried off the field and went straight for an examination table.

Following a commercial break, NFL Network’s Bob Papa explained that Sanchez landed on the right knee while diving forward.

Sanchez has walked to the locker room under his own power, with only a slight limp.

The Jets lead, 16-10.

UPDATE:  Solomon Wilcots of NFLN reports that Sanchez is being fitted for a brace on his right knee, apparently in advance of returning to action.  In his absence, Kellen Clemens has led the team to another field goal.  The Jets lead, 19-10.

    Joe Girardi’s forehead was just slapped by his right hand.

    Joe Torre would’ve taught him better.

    I haveo to say it, as a Browns fan, people were questioning why the Browns passed over on him!?
    A lot of people do not remember this, but before his junior season, Mark Sanchez had a dislocated knee cap and had to have surgery on it.
    The school stated it was not major surgery, but anything dealing with the knee and a football player, is suspect. That is why he wore the brace that season on the one leg.
    Leg issues, quarterback – not a good mix!
    The Jets can have him and Braylon too! Time for someone else to suffer the drama we have for the last 10 years!
