Der gik et sug igennem maverne på mange Jets-fans, da rygmarven i løbeangrebet, Curtis Martin, blev skadet i højre knæ i søndagens kamp mod Dolphins. En MRI test (Magnetic resonance imaging) af Martin's knæ er dog negativ, og det forventes, at han spiller mod Jacksonville Jaguars på søndag. Det skriver ESPN.com.

Martin fik skaden under kampen i søndags, men opdagede det ikke før mandag morgen, hvor han tog hen for en skanning. Head Coach Herman Edwards sagde, at han ikke anede, at Martin var skadet før han selv sagde det. Den 32-årige HB har kun misset en Jets kamp i sin karriere - en kamp i 1998 mod St. Louis.

"It's always been a comfort zone knowing you have 28 [Martin] behind you," sagde QB Chad Pennington. "I've seen him play with two sprained ankles, I've seen him play with an MCL, I've seen him play with a tailbone muscle ripped off his tailbone, I've seen a bunch of different things. I had no idea he was hurt. I had no clue; you won't hear a word from him." Martin kan blive den første med 11 sæsoner i træk med over 1.000 rushing yards. Hvis han imod alt forventning er skadet, vil Derrick Blaylock starte for ham. "
