FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez says he’s “optimistic” he will not need surgery on his sore right shoulder.
A day after the Jets’ 24-19 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game, neither Sanchez nor coach Rex Ryan would rule out surgery. But the quarterback says Monday he will talk to doctors and get a “couple of opinions.” Ryan adds that it won’t be just one, but “five or six opinions” before Sanchez decides.
Sanchez was injured in the Jets’ win at Pittsburgh on Dec. 19, but played well through it. He was limited for some practice sessions, but “it just got better” as the season went on.
Sanchez says he hopes he needs to do nothing other than rest it this offseason.
