The early stages of the Snoopy Bowl hasn’t featured much offense, but one of the better defensive players in the league has already left the field.

Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson left the field immediately after a play, holding his face.

It’s unclear if he was poked in the eye or otherwise injured, but he was quickly taken to the locker room with trainers. He returned to the sidelines moments later, however.

Otherwise, there hasn’t been much to see in this one, as the two offenses continue to do what they’ve been doing lately.
