flgreen Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Jenkins still uncertain for minicamp June, 10, 2010 Jun 10 2:26 PM ET By Rich Cimini Contrary to popular belief, NT Kris Jenkins still hasn't been cleared by the medical staff to participate fully in next week's mandatory three-day minicamp. Jenkins, who underwent major knee surgery last October, said Thursday he was told by the head trainer that he's still a no-go for next week. It appears that Jenkins might be limited to individual and positional drills, with no 11-on-11 work. That, basically, has been his regimen in recent OTAs. Jenkins said he's not sure why he hasn't been cleared, but he wasn't complaining. "I thought it was the weight, but now I've got my weight down," said Jenkins, who is down to 380 after dropping 10 pounds. "So I don't know. They want me to stay healthy and get through the season and be effective. I'm going to trust them." Jenkins said his goal is to be 360 pounds by the start of training camp, Aug. 1. If he meets his goal, he'll probably win his celebrated weight-loss contest with coach Rex Ryan and teammate Damien Woody. The Jets are being ultra-cautious with Jenkins because of his value to the team and because a 380-pound man with a surgically repaired knee can lead to re-injury or other issues.

villain_the_foe Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Big Jinx will be fine come week 1. Thats all that matters to me. Hopefully he'll be able to get some work in during our last 2 preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I have absolutely NO FAITH that this guy can stay healthy for a whole season anymore and I STILL think we'll be alright without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguini 15 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Let him sit forever. I'm glad he's not cleared to play. We don't need him at all right now. At his age and veteran status, he doesn't need to be out there risking injury. He will be there when it matters most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenerdaze Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Funny, before the draft I suggested we deal KJ while he has decent value and all I received was every name in the book by the usual clueless homers who said I know nothing about football - blah blah - and here we are, the same 'ol routine, wondering when or if he'll suit up. Man, that sh!t gets old. We did that every week when his health was "good," if anyone remembers. Big Jenks will always be a MRI waiting to happen.

BP Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 He obviously isnt taking rehabbing the knee seriously or he would have had his weight down long ago. and it appears Rex is still surfing on last years ''feel good'' year. Rex Ryan has to make sure this fat ass is at least trying to rehab the knee. I mean the Jets dont pay the guy to be a lazy fat ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bonus clueless homer comment: "ANY player can get hurt ... drool.") Maybe I'm one of the droolers, but I'm not seeing how Jenkins being fat and injured in mid-June is smoking-gun proof that a mid-round draft pick would be more valuable than whatever inevitably hobbled production Jenkins ends up giving the Jets this season.

(Bonus clueless homer comment: "ANY player can get hurt ... drool.") I didnt see your previous post, but Jenks being an MRI waiting to happen is a bit off. Jenks is a 9 year vet and 6 years he has played in all 16 games, including Jenks first year with us. Jenkins only played two years with us. This is his third here. You're stretching it and thats probably why people are in disagreement, because on top of the fact that you said to trade him because he's an MRI waiting to happen you're also asking to trade a top 3 DT in the entire NFL for a "decent" pick. I wouldnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 No pick we could obtain for Jenkins would be worth trading him for, that's simply assinine. Simply hope he stays healthy, because whatever he gives us is worth having. If he gets hurt, Pouha will be ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said to deal him for a pick. I've lower expectations of unproven draftees than most people. Besides, that's too boring. I did say to package him with other expendables and get a quality vet. Not necessarily a defensive player either. The idea is to move him before he proves to be officially done. Keeping him around for the purposes you stated when we played superbly without him is kinda like keeping Bobby Bonilla as a DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt. I never mentioned picks, or a pick. Once a body of KJ's size starts to break down, he's swiftly on his way out. He can't handle the load anymore, that's my opinion. As far as rehab goes, how do you say "You can use it, but try not to put any weight on it" to a 390-lb pachyderm? I don't think he'll make it back to making a difference for our D. Rex wants him around so he isn't the only fat guy in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
