Of course, we wish injuries on nobody around here (preemptive comment before the newest Jests troll screams "keep it up. Karma. Karma. Karma. Yada yada yada") but this is yet another bit of potentially bad news for the Jersey Jesters.

hope he's okay. We'll smoke 'em even with that big off-season pick-up.

He was back on a bike 20 minutes later. Sounds pretty minor. (Turns out this is false. He didn't get on the bike.)

Definitely not a Jets fan, but I'd hate it for them to lose games on account of Jones' health.

UPDATE: Local NYC news (ABC 7) just reported that Jet doctors have placed Jones's foot in a "soft cast" as a precaution.

And a jet fan who was there: I was at camp. Looked like a classic sprain to me. He was in pain, walking gingerly, and certainly was not near a stationary bike. He did work his shoulders on the arm bike thing and did do the medicine ball ab work with the other injured guys.

I doubt he'll play in the preseason again, but I also think it's the type of sprain that should be much better in 3 weeks. I'm pretty confident we'll see him week 1.

It's early in the preseason. Jones will be fine as long as the problem doesn't linger into the season.

I'm with you. Victory is so much sweeter when you can beat a team that's at full strength. You don't get the usuall whiney fans saying , "yeah but so and so was hurt!" Of course then it's the ref's fault.

I generally agree, and applauded the Jets move to grab Jones for a 2nd rounder, and think he'll bring a lot of excitment into the division... but injuries are part of the game

The Patriots have suffered plenty and still won, as the Patriots pride themselves on quality depth.

Mangini, in his offseason moves, sacrificed the need for improved depth to grab just a few starting caliber guys in free agency and the draft. If everyone stays healthy, it will be the right move, as I think he got some good players in the draft

But IMO the Jets still don't have the depth that a team needs to win even when injuries happen, as they almost always do.

So if they can't compete because of injuries, its because they made a strategic offseason decision that backfired.

No, no NO!
The only leg injuries of concern are those to Pats wideouts, e.g. Moss' hammie.
I know because I read it on Jets Insider.

Yeah, but has he gotten them all into camp?
