HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -New York Jets running back Thomas Jones remained sidelined Monday, a day after injuring his lower right leg in practice. Jones walked with a slight limp and spent most of the morning session working on a hand bike and doing calisthenics. Jones' leg had a smaller wrap - from the top of the ankle to the top of the calf - around it than the one he had on it after he was injured Sunday. Per team policy, the Jets did not reveal the nature or severity of the injury, but it appears to b |

A few dozen New York Jets fans were waiting after practice for their favorite players to sign hats, footballs and anything else they could get their hands on. ``Chansi! Chansi!'' a few young fans shouted. ``Over here!'' After one solid preseason game, people already know who Stuckey is - even without his No. 83 jersey on.

NEW YORK (AP) -Kellen Clemens stepped to the podium and asked if he was standing in the right spot. The New York Jets' backup quarterback isn't used to postgame news conferences, but his performance against the Atlanta Falcons had everybody talking. ``When you know the offense, you can play fast and that's what we like to do,'' tight end Sean Ryan said. ``You can see he has confidence and he's getting the ball out there.''

Asked if he could recall a successful season with so many questions at quarterback, he recalled the 1999 season with the New York Jets. That's when Vinny Testaverde had a season-ending Achilles' tendon injury in the first game. The Jets started the season 1-6, but finished 7-2 with Ray Lucas as the starter.
