Remaining uncertain what rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez’ playing status will be for this weekend’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan said he would have the quarterback practice Wednesday to see how well his injured knee can work.
“It may take a couple of days to figure this out,” Ryan said. “You know me, I’m not a guy who’s going to string it along and have no decision and not say anything about it. Clearly, if Mark is going to be playing, I want him to get the majority of the snaps, just like I would if Kellen (Clemens) is going to be playing.”
The No.6 Jets jersey did not appear during Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kellen Clemens started at quarterback as the replacement to Sanchez, who was rehabilitating the sprained posterior collateral ligament in his right knee at the Jets’ facility.
As Clemens led the Jets to a 26-3 win over the Buccaneers, Ryan is hoping to split the snaps with the first-team offense between Clemens and Sanchez, if the latter is fine enough to play this weekend’s game.

Jets rookie Sanchez is getting used to NFL life
Mark Sanchez attended the Jets in April as the fifth overall during draft time. Since then he has been working hard and learning a lot about NFL life.
As the Jets will end their last mandatory minicamp this week, and will start training camp next month, Sanchez has a lot of things to do during the off weeks.
“I’m going to go home (to California) for a little bit just to see the family and get all of my stuff out from there and move it here,” Sanchez told reporters Tuesday. “I’m still living in a hotel, so I have to figure out my living situation. That (the off weeks) will be a good time to go do that and take a little time off myself, just relax for about a week because it’s going to be a long season. It’s going to be a grind, especially for a rookie. I’m excited about it, and I’ll be ready to go come camp time.”
Sanchez also said that Kellen Clemens, who is competing with him for the Jets’ starting QB job, has been helping him a lot. Excitement and cooperation, the rookie is getting used to NFL life as a professional football player.
