The New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is likely to get back his starting job for this week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons as he has been back to the field and taken snaps with other starters.
“I felt good today,” Sanchez said Wednesday. “We’ll see how it goes, play it day to day and talk to the doctors again (Thursday). But I feel confident.”
It was the first time Sanchez took part in practice since spraining the posterior cruciate ligament in the knee during the game against the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 3. Coach Rex Ryan wants to be sure there’s no stiffness or swelling in Sanchez’s knee before deciding whether he or Kellen Clemens will start against Atlanta on Sunday.
Sanchez appeared unimpeded by the injury that sidelined him for New York’s 26-3 win at Tampa Bay last Sunday. Practicing with a brace and splitting the snaps with the first-team offense with Clemens, the former Southern California quarterback was wearing short sleeves Jets jersey as his teammates despite near-freezing temperatures, showing that he was fully prepared for starting a cold-weather game.
