Cotchery might miss Monday night game
Jets coach Rex Ryan has already said that newly-acquired receiver Braylon Edwards will play Monday night against the Miami Dolphins.
However, there's the possibility that the Jets will be without their leading receiver Jerricho Cotchery per Ryan (via Ohm Youngmisuk of the NY Daily News).
"His hamstring is still bothering him some," Ryan said. "(I'm) definitely not ruling him out, but he's not 100% right now. I'm expecting him to play, but (missing the game is) a definite possibility."
Cotchery missed Friday's practice and he was limited in Thursday's practice. According to Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News, Cotchery missed today's practice as well.
However, Edwards has looked good in practice so far.
"I could tell he was kind of counting his steps (on Thursday)," [safety Kerry] Rhodes said of Edwards in practice. "Today he was more in tune and he looked good. He made some big catches and showed us why we made the trade for him."
"He's looking good,'' said cornerback Darrelle Revis, per Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger. "It's just crazy that he's coming from another team and is that explosive already.''
If Cotchery is on your fantasy team, I would sit him and play it safe. With the risk of being a scratch in the last game of the week, it makes no sense to put Cotchery into your starting lineup.
Per Hutchinson, Brad Smith would start if Cotchery can't play and that would move up David Clowney in the rotation.
On the season, Cotchery has 23 receptions for 356 yards and one touchdown in four games. He's had at least four receptions and 71 yards in all of his games.
