Pace left today’s practice session at Florham Park after suffering an apparent groin injury that will likely put him on the shelf along with Mauldin who suffered what is believed to be a sprained knee during practice the previous evening.

The injuries to Pace and Mauldin leaves the Jets thin at linebacker as they’ll take on the Giants with only Quinton Coples, Jason Babin, Trevor Reilly and Deion Barnes.
