Willis McGahee (questionable, ankle) missed his second straight day of practice Thursday. McGahee has taken off the boot that was on his ankle Thursday. It's believed McGahee is likely to play this week.
NFL: Willis McGahee had his leg amputated to remove a sore ankle in an effort to maintain his 150+ ypg against the Jets. McGahee will play the Jets this Sunday running on one leg. Peter King stated that this will limit McGahee in the passing game, but he still expects Willis to gain over 150 yards on the ground. Says King, "Willis could crawl for a 150 yds against the Jets". Mangini refused to comment, but did give humor a try as he did his best impression of a one legged penguin hopping around behind the podium.
FRIDAY UPDATE: Willis McGahee and Terrence McGee both practiced Friday, but they each remain questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. "Terrence and Willis practiced some," said head coach Dick Jauron. "They took maybe a little less than their normal share of snaps in practice." Donte Whitner and John DiGiorgio did not practice. Jauron said all four will be game time decisions. Matt Bowen is expected to take Whitner's place in the lineup if Whitner can't play Sunday, but Jauron would not confirm that. "He's one of the options that we have there," Jauron said.
