FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - New York Jets center Nick Mangold is questionable for the team's game at New England, but will likely start after missing the last two games with a high right ankle sprain. Mangold was limited at practice Friday, as he has been all week, after being injured three weeks ago. But coach Rex Ryan says ``I feel good about'' Mangold being able to play, and the All-Pro center also says he's optimistic. Ryan stopped short of saying Mangold would definitely go Sunday. ``Well, he's lis |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - Kenrick Ellis was expected to be a big part of the New York Jets' defense when they drafted him in the third round in April. And, he still might be - at some point. But so far, the nose tackle has been stuck on the sideline as an inactive player. It has been mostly a numbers thing, as coach Rex Ryan suits up more defensive backs than linemen, based on the opponents' offense. Ryan says ``it's just a matter of time'' before Ellis makes his NFL debut, but it might not be this Su |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers probably don't like one another very much, but the two teams do share quite a bit in common. Same can be said for the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons. All four of the above posted double-digit victories and reached the playoffs in 2010, and entered this season harboring big plans predicated on those past accomplishments. And none has yet to play up to those lofty standards, with the combined crew compiling an overall recor |

I'm definitely hopeful that Nick will play," Ryan said. Mangold has been sidelined since suffering a high ankle sprain during the first quarter of a Week 2 win over Jacksonville.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - A meeting with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots showed the Oakland Raiders how far they still need to go to be mentioned among the AFC's elite teams. A week after bullying the New York Jets in an emotional victory in the home opener, the Raiders were dealt a dose of reality in a 31-19 loss to the Patriots that exposed plenty of issues that still need to be addressed if Oakland wants to end a run of eight straight non-winning seasons. ``We're going to fix it, and we have ju |
