Found December 27, 2012 on NFL Injury Report: Yardbarker Blogger Network
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan said yesterday that quarterback Greg McElroy is dealing with an abdominal injury, putting into question whether Tim Tebow or Mark Sanchez will see playing time in the team’s season finale against the Buffalo Bills, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Via multiple reports, Ryan said Wednesday that McElroy has an abdominal issue.  (Given that he was sacked 11 times on Sunday, it’s surprising he still has an abdomen at all.) At this point McElroy is still expected to start Sunday against the Bills, but his injury throws into question the possibility of Tebow or Sanchez seeing action in the finale. After the Jets decided to bench Sanchez, McElroy got the nod over Tebow last weekend against the San Diego Chargers. The second-year player completed 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 185 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
