Rex Ryan spoke to the media and gave some injury updates.\u00a0 Tim Tebow sounds good to go on Monday night and Rex also feels that Braylon will be active as well.\u00a0 Here is the full transcript:<\/p>\n
Opening Statement\u2026<\/b>
\nFirst off, obviously, with the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, obviously, (our) thoughts and prayers (are with) all the people impacted by that tragedy it\u2019s, wow, it\u2019s amazing. But just wanted to say that, and that all of our thoughts and prayers go out to all those people there. (It was) just a horrific deal that happened there.<\/p>\n
As far as the Jets are concerned, our injury status, all four of these players did not practice today (and) all four will be listed as doubtful: Dustin Keller with his ankle, Stephen Hill, knee, Aaron Berry, hamstring (and) Bryan Thomas, chest. All (of those players will) be doubtful for the game (and) all did not practice today. These three players were limited in practice today and they\u2019re questionable for the game: Sione Po\u2019uha with a low back, Braylon Edwards, hamstring (and) Clyde Gates, concussion. The rest of the players, everybody practiced full and all will be probable for the game: Kenrick Ellis, knee, Mark Sanchez, low back, Matt Slauson, knee, Jeff Cumberland, wrist, Calvin Pace, shoulder, Nick Mangold, shoulder, Bart Scott, toe, Brandon Moore, hip, Joe McKnight, ankle, Tim Tebow, ribs, Damon Harrison, ankle, Ricky Sapp, ankle, LaRon Landry, heel (and) Bilal Powell, shoulder (and) toe.<\/p>\n
On whether his thoughts on Edwards playing on Monday has changed\u2026<\/b>
\nNo, it hasn\u2019t. I remain optimistic about Monday night.\u00a0 How much he\u2019ll play, we\u2019ll see, but I\u2019m optimistic he\u2019ll be ready for Monday night.<\/p>\n
On how much Edwards can play on Monday since he\u2019s been limited in practice\u2026<\/b>
\nWell again, I\u2019m not real sure yet. We\u2019re not going to put specific play numbers on him, or whatever, we\u2019ll just see how he progresses. Right now, I feel like he\u2019s getting better each day. So again, I think Monday night he\u2019ll definitely get to play. We\u2019ll see how much. That\u2019s kind of how I feel about it. I believe he will play.<\/p>\n
On how much Edwards\u2019 familiarity with Sanchez and his ability to run block impacted the decision to bring him back\u2026<\/b>
\nWell, it really is a brand new system for Braylon. But you are exactly right, he is familiar with Mark. There is no question about it. He definitely brings back that mentality as a blocker and everything else that we certainly appreciate. Really, it\u2019s just the overall thing that we\u2019ve been kind of banged up at the receiver spot. We were very familiar with Braylon and his attributes that he brings to the table. He\u2019s a smart guy and obviously, very competitive. I absolutely do love the way he blocks. So you consider all those things, when you bring a guy in.<\/p>\n
On if there is an update on Tebow\u2019s status\u2026<\/b>
\nI don\u2019t know. I feel good about him. I think he practiced well again today, so he looks good and he\u2019ll be ready to go on Monday.<\/p>\n
On whether he would prefer the same run\/pass ratio the team used against Jacksonville\u2026<\/b>
\nWell again, you never put a number on how many plays you\u2019re going to run or whatever. It\u2019s just that in that particular game we thought that was our best way to get a win was to run the football and some other factors played into it. But like I said, I prefer to run the football, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t throw it. So I\u2019m not going to place a number on it. Our thing is, we\u2019re just trying to win the game and if that means we have to throw it 40 times, then so be it. But I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll be able to throw the football (and) I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll be able to run it.<\/p>\n
On whether Gates will play Monday since he was limited in practice today\u2026<\/b>
\nI\u2019m not real sure. I believe he\u2019s got another test that he has to go through and complete today. But the fact that he was out there in a limited role was encouraging. It looks like he\u2019s running well and so that\u2019s encouraging. Obviously, you\u2019d like to have him up with the kind of speed and athleticism he has. But we\u2019ll see, he has one more test before the next step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
