Sanchez Injury Update

Initial tests revealed Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has a sprained posterior cruciate ligament, and if he can handle the pain, he would be able to play Dec. 13 at Tampa, a source close to the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Friday morning.

Sanchez sprained his right knee Thursday night in the Jets' 19-13 win against the Buffalo Bills in Toronto, when he dived headfirst on an 8-yard scamper up the middle.

That was enough to pick up a first down on the Jets' second possession of the third quarter. And it happened in the same week in which the Jets brought in Yankees manager Joe Girardi to provide the first-round draft pick sliding lessons after Sanchez hurt his left knee in a 17-6 win against Carolina on Sunday.

Jets coach Rex Ryan was visibly upset following the game, after having to watch Sanchez hobble off with a knee injury for the second time in five days.
"Sometimes, the kid's got to understand we're trying to teach him to slide," Ryan said. "I love the kid, but he's got to grow up and understand he represents our entire organization. We want what's best for him."


Solid W for the Jets last night. Some how they're still in the playoff hunt as a wild card contender, and if the Pats lose this Sunday the Jets will only be 1 game back of them in the AFC East. Playoffs or not,Its just good to know for Sanchez's development that he most likely wont miss a game. Can't say I'm very happy with Rex Ryan's reaction though...Like c'mon Rexy you gotta know better than that...Telling Sanchise to "grow up?" Who the f*ck is Rex Ryan telling someone to grow up? Your the head coach, you can't be doing that to your rookie QB at the post game news conference.
