CHICAGO (AP) – New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is active for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Sanchez was limited in practice after injuring his right shoulder early in last week’s 22-17 win at Pittsburgh. He played well in that game, going 19 of 29 for 170 yards while running for a touchdown and snapping an eight-game interception streak.
Coach Rex Ryan at first said there was a 90 percent chance Sanchez would play, but downgraded the odds on Thursday after seeing little zip on his passes. A good practice on Friday, however, eased any concerns.
Jets safety Eric Smith sits out his second straight game because of a concussion.
The Bears have all their key players available, with linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa active after missing the past three games because of a knee injury. He will back up Nick Roach.
