FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Safety
Brodney Pool is questionable for the New York Jets' season opener
against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night with a sprained right
ankle.
Pool was injured in the third
preseason game against Washington when a player fell on the ankle during
a fumble recovery. He was limited in practice Friday and Saturday after
not practicing Thursday.
He says the ankle "feels a lot
better," but whether he plays is "up to the coaches." Coach Rex Ryan
says Pool has been a quick healer, but the team also doesn't want to
risk further injury.
If Pool doesn't play, Eric Smith will get the start opposite Jim Leonhard.
As expected, linebacker Calvin Pace is listed as out with a broken right foot. Jason Taylor will replace him.
