APA Monday MRI has confirmed Florio’s report from Sunday night: Jets center Nick Mangold has a high ankle sprain.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports Mangold is expected to miss a minimum of 2-3 weeks. No further ligament damage was found.
It comes at a bad time for the Jets — not that there is ever a good time to lose an All Pro center. The Jets have three straight road games coming up against the Raiders, Ravens, and Patriots.

3-2 with Nick back we roll off 5 in a row to be 8-2 all is well.
Nick Mangold doesn’t play on the defensive side of the ball. I expect the Jets will win 2 out of the 3 coming up.
they should just get his sister to suit up. they won’t miss a beat.
As a Pats fan, I think he should really take his time coming back from this. No need to risk aggrevating it.
Just lookin’ out for your future buddy.
If this team had a QB they would really be something.
that’s gonna suck when they have to go against Wilfork and Fat Albert in 3 weeks
if there’s one silver lining so far it’s the Pats pass defense isn’t any better than last year, and McCourty & Co might even be taking a step backwards
I think he should wait until at least Oct-23 to make sure it heals all the way, of course as a Dolphin fan I’m concern about his recovery, and the way its going we may have a new coach for our trip to Jersey on Oct-17th. However hes a good center and he should take the doctors advice. Bill
Hopefully, he doesn’t play against the Ravens.
@afc22
Is the subject of this thread McCourty or the Patriots? You guys are obsessed.
Add this injury to the litany of excuses of Jets fans will cite when Rex Ryan’s annual guarantee to win the Super Bowl once again ends in the agony of de-feet.
@tiffpats4eva:
The Pats aren’t going to win anything again so you Pat fans can go back to begin Cowboy and 49ers fans like you were before 2001.
tiffpats4eva & joesixpack,
you can call it Fear& Loathing in New Jersey.
jets fans like david7590 keep bringing those checks Rex Ryan is writing but can never cash them.
3 more weeks 28-21 greatest victory Cult fans!

Lovin’ the comparisons between the Cowboys, 49ers and Patriots – teams with 13 Super Bowl wins between them
… just as long as you don’t insult the Patriots by comparing them to the Jets and their 42 year drought
Another thing all those teams have in common is none of them had a coach who thought their fans were stupid enough to believe a Super Bowl guarantee (2 years in a row no less)

He didn’t compare them. Had you even fourth-grade reading-comprehension skills, you’d know that. Instead, he compared Patriots fans with early-90s Cowboys and 49ers fans, noting that they’re mostly the same: a gaggle of bandwagoners who skip from team to team when it’s expedient.
