hoping4ASuperBowl Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Joe McKnight | NYJ (October 15, 2012 5:33 PM EDT) Joe McKnight's Monday MRI revealed a high ankle sprain. The Jets are getting awfully thin at running back. Bilal Powell (shoulder) and McKnight both threaten to miss multiple games, leaving only UDFA Jonathan Grimes behind Shonn Greene on the depth chart. They'll likely have to sign another tailback this week. McKnight was coming on a bit with 90 yards on 10 carries this season, and he also returned a kickoff for a touchdown in Week 5 against the Texans. He can now be dropped in 10- and 12-team leagues.

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I guess it's a good thing we picked up Grimes. Do we bring back Ganaway or someone else in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is it me or have we had more injuries than last year? Sure feels like it. How much of is it to be blamed on the strength and conditioning coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is it me or have we had more injuries than last year? Poor Sanchez. Can't even catch a break when his RT doesn't have a hit out on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is it me or have we had more injuries than last year? Definitely. Last year I remember thinking we were pretty lucky and that we barely got hit with the injury bug. Shoot, even Sanchez kept getting up after getting his ass banged around. And thats not even including what happened on the football field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well, we know what Bilal is... at least we will get a look at Grimes. People here were talking awfully high about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That sucks. Hes probaby out a month. Mangold missed 3 weeks with a high ankle. a speed guy like McK could be more like 6 weeks if lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mangold missed 3 weeks with a high ankle. a speed guy like McK could be more like 6 weeks if lucky. And Mangold is a man. McKnight, hamburger eater. So yeah, closer to 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetfan13 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Sure feels like it. How much of is it to be blamed on the strength and conditioning coach? I was thinking the same thing. Awful lot of hamstring injuries in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is it me or have we had more injuries than last year? It sure feels that way. And more cumulative down-time compared to the past few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just splice McKinight's upper body onto Powell's torso and you have a #2 RB. Holmes is out for the year, so add his scholngimus maximus and you've got one hell of a package. Defenses will run from that $hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 last week I'm sure the consenus around here was that he sucked anyway, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mangold missed 3 weeks with a high ankle. a speed guy like McK could be more like 6 weeks if lucky. Thought he only missed two? McKnight probably misses more along the lines of four than six, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The truth is, as Jets fans, we've gotten completely spoiled when it comes to injuries. Year in and year out, the Jets are one of the least injured teams out there, and every now and then, we have a season where they seem to really start rolling in all at once (2005, 2007, this year). Truth is, it's not that the Jets are getting that many more than your average team, it's just that we're not used to it and it's only made that much worse by the lack of depth on the team.
