Injury Sidelines Jets' RB Jones

Posted Aug 13, 07 12:24 CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – New York Jets running back Thomas Jones suffered a leg injury during a preseason practice yesterday. Jones, recently nabbed from Chicago to solidify the Jets' backfield, planted his right foot awkwardly during a training routine and fell to the field, where a trainer attended to him. The Jets did not release details of the injury.

Though Jones did not return to the playing field, he was able to stretch and move around on the sidelines with his right leg heavily wrapped. New York next squares off against Minnesota August 17,  though head coach Eric Mangini has not said whether Jones will take part in the preseason action.

This much stays the same: Only one official will go under the hood to look at the replay. But another official will tag along with him, stand nearby, and act as a sort of official stenographer. He'll record the decision, the ball placement, and any other details. The idea is to cut down on confusion.

    Splitting Bills With Toronto Key to Revitalized Buffalo The Bills’ loss in the 1967 AFL championship game began the downfall of the football team and the city of Buffalo itself, native Gregg Easterbrook writes in the Atlantic, and he suggests looking north to turn everything around. Adding affluent Toronto (100 miles away) as a second “home” city would inject dollars into the franchise and even “change Buffalo’s image from backward-focused to wave-of-the-future.” More »

Feely's kick came after the Patriots had tied the game on Matt Cassel's pass to Randy Moss with one second left in regulation.
