Jets rookie Darron Lee (ankle) won't play against Ravens

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- First-round pick Darron Lee will miss the first game of his NFL career Sunday.

The New York Jets rookie linebacker, who sprained an ankle in Monday night's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, won't play against the Baltimore Ravens, coach Todd Bowles said Thursday.

It's no surprise, as Lee hasn't made an appearance at practice. He has been spending his days inside, getting treatment. Bowles said he's not sure if Lee will miss time beyond this week.

"I’m hoping not," he said. "It’s still too early to tell. I just know he’s out this week."

Lee, who leads the team with 34 tackles, will have to be replaced in the nickel defense. That role likely will fall to Bruce Carter. David Harris is expected back after missing last week with a hamstring injury.

Part-time right tackle Brent Qvale (neck) also has been ruled out, leaving the position to Ben Ijalana. Incumbent Breno Giacomini (back) has returned to practice, but he remains on the PUP list.

 

 

Let the Punches keep on coming!

I din't particularly like the Lee pick, but the kid's been playing OK

No Qvale and possibly no Breno.  Shell active?

Since he's been used out of position for much of the year, Bowles is probably thinking about using Sheldon Richardson on the o-line

[Kleckineau]

He is game. I have to give him that.

With Richarson playing LB and dropping into coverage I am surprised our genius HC hasnt had Lil Lee play nose tackle yet.

If he continues to lead the team in tackles I give him 2-3 years before he is shot.

Would have liked to see more splash plays from him, hopefully they will come as he gets more comfortable out there.

That was a nasty twist his ankle took in the last game. Not surprising that it's sore

I gave the OP a negative rep because of the Tiny Dancer label.   To me it's akin to a troll.

I gave this ^ post a negative rep because Algonquian Island here has no sense of humor and can't appreciate an Elton John reference when applicable  that's akin to folly.

isn't Lee the leading tackler on the team.

yes, but why ruin a good thread

BTW, the Pats drafted a MLB in the top ten with Mayo. And now he's out of the game. Solid player and a good leader of the defense, but I dont remember splash plays from him

Just because you weren't watching doesn't mean he wasn't an impact player. Mayo was LEGIT and better than Gholston who we took @ #6 and was an ALL-PRO by his 3rd year. Injuries cut his career short.

Mayo was a DAMN good LB:

• Super Bowl champion (XLIX)
• 2× Pro Bowl (2010, 2012)
• First-team All-Pro (2010)
• NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (2008)

I didn't he wasn't a good player. I said that I don't recall seeing splash plays from him. Splash plays, to me, are plays made by Polamalu, Deion, L.T. etc.

He was a solid linebacker, but his excellence came by leading the defense.

You tend to get hurt when tackling bruising slot receivers.

With an ankle injury? Stop it. And stop demeaning a rookie

That's not exactly splitting the atom. The Doctor is a Time Lord. Of course, he's better than a human
