After the Seattle Seahawks released wide receiver Braylon Edwards, head coach Pete Carroll said they believed he wouldn’t be able to play for three weeks because of a hamstring injury.
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan doesn’t agree with Carroll.
“Obviously, we felt different,” Ryan said, via the Newark Star Ledger.
“He passed the physical, he’s cleared to practice,” added Ryan. “I’m optimistic he’ll be able to play on Monday but I’ll learn on our trainers and doctors. I’ll say this about Braylon — he’s extremely happy to be here, I’ve seen him in the locker room, he’s hugging guys, he’s going crazy. I was happy to see him despite the obvious comment.”
I’m sure the Jets will do whatever they can to make sure Edwards plays on Monday night, since they’re somehow still in the AFC playoff race.

The Jets have picked up their former wideout, Braylon Edwards off of waivers. Remember it was just last week that Braylon referred to Jets management as “idiots” for the way they’ve handled QB Mark Sanchez.
Apparently the Jets are very forgiving and were trying to trade for Edwards a few weeks before the Seahawks cut him. Two seasons ago Sanchez and Edwards had great chemistry...

The New York Jets may be on their way to making a playoff push but don’t be fooled. This season is by far the most frustrating and most disappointing of Rex Ryan’s tenure as Head Coach. After thirteen weeks of nailbiters and fumbles, it is clear New York is in need of a coaching change (to say the least).
Woody Johnson would do his team a favor by firing Ryan. A lot has changed...

Braylon Edwards was pretty good in 2010, and so was Mark Sanchez. The two have pretty much stunk since. Edwards and Sanchez, who connected on 62 passes, eight touchdowns and more than 40 first downs in the New York Jets' 2010 campaign, were reunited this week after an odd sequence of events."We have a good chemistry together," Sanchez said Tuesday, via the Star-Ledger...

Jets focusing on struggling Titans, not playoffs
Rex Ryan is taking nothing for granted, not the way this season has gone for the New York Jets.
The Jets still have hope that a favorable schedule will give them a chance at the playoffs even after a 3-6 start. Ryan, though, is taking it one game at a time, beginning with the woeful Tennessee Titans on Monday night.

Ryan told reporters Friday that Tebow may serve as a personal protector on punts and might see action in the Wildcat formation on offense.
