FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -Mark Sanchez is not practicing for the New York Jets while recovering from a sprained right knee, but coach Rex Ryan is optimistic about the rookie quarterback’s chances of playing Sunday at Tampa Bay.
Sanchez sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in the knee while diving for a first down in New York’s 19-13 win over Buffalo on Thursday night. Ryan says Sanchez spent the majority of the weekend at the team’s facility rehabilitating the injury.
Sanchez will initially wear a brace to stabilize the knee, and could play with it Sunday against the Buccaneers if medically cleared. He already wears a brace on his left knee from a previous injury.
The Jets (6-6) are in the middle of the AFC playoff mix after their win over the Bills.
