It remains uncertain whether the New York Jets linebacker David Harris will put on his Jets jersey to play the team’s wild-card playoff games against the Cincinnati Bengals this Saturday, and a sprained right ankle still bothers him.
Harries injured his ankle the first half of last Sunday’s 37-0 victory the Bengals, and Ryan Fowler took over his job at the inside linebacker, finishing the game despite taking a blow to the head at some point. His status for the playoff also remains unclear.
“I’m definitely concerned, absolutely,” Coach Rex Ryan said of Harris’ injury. “I know if there’s any way possible to play, he’s going to play. We’ll see how he is. Do I expect him to be a full go (Tuesday) for practice? No, I don’t, but hopefully he’ll surprise me.”
Harris leads the team in tackles and has 5 1/2 sacks and two interceptions, and if he cannot play the playoff, it would be a huge blow to the Jets’ top-ranked defense. Kenwin Cummings would be the top choice to start at inside linebacker if both Harris and Fowler would be absent.
