Though coach Rex Ryan says it’s no big deal, Jets center Nick Mangold suffered a knee injury during practice on Sunday.
“It is a knee, but it’s not a serious thing,” Ryan said. “I don’t know the timetable, he may miss a practice or two, I’m not real sure. But it’s not serious.
“I’m not exactly sure [what the injury is], but it’s nothing serious. There was no ligament damage or anything else. It’s probably more of an inconvenience than anything else. Anytime you deal with a knee though, it’s pretty scary. He should be fine.”
One thing we’ve learned over the past few days is that the initial diagnosis of a knee injury can change, dramatically -- whether it’s initially believed to be an ACL tear but isn’t, or whether it’s not believed to be an ACL tear but is.
