There were some encouraging signs for Jeremy Kerley this week. He was able to practice but he did wear the red no contact jersey. It sounds as if his return is close but Rex Ryan did indicate that he was doubtful on Sunday against the Ravens. Rex didn’t rule out Kerley (or Garrett Mcintyre) but it doesn’t look likely that either will play.
Rex on Kerley’s injury:
It was ugly, there’s no question. I don’t know how else to describe it, but like a horrific looking injury. There haven’t been a whole lot of receivers that have had this injury, like three in the last 10 years or something. It’s kind of hard to say where he is, but the young man, to his credit, he wants to be out there in the worst way and obviously yesterday (he practiced). He’s showing it during the week, he’s practicing. But again, we’ll see how it goes. He’s already way further along than I think what people were assuming.
