After Monday night’s loss to the Patriots came to an end, coach Rex Ryan said he wasn’t sure about quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s status after an apparent shoulder injury but that he hoped Taylor will be able to play this week.
Ryan isn’t scheduled to meet with the media on Tuesday, but he did speak to Mike Schopp of WGR 550 about Taylor and other injured members of the team. The update on Taylor doesn’t delve into the nature of his injury, but Ryan said that the quarterback “should be able to play” against the Chiefs this Sunday.
Taylor had a rough time of it against the Patriots, but nothing the team saw from EJ Manuel in two starts earlier this season suggests that he’d be a better choice than Taylor if Taylor’s healthy enough to play.
Ryan also said it is “too early” to know if defensive end Mario Williams will miss the game after leaving on Monday because of a foot injury. Right guard John Miller, who left with an ankle injury, and wide receiver Marcus Easley, who suffered a concussion, were both deemed unlikely to play.
