    Decker said its not surgical. Thinks it might be PCL injury, won't rush back

    Decker is probably one of the 5 or 7 players we could least afford to lose.

    If its a PCL injury its good news (so to speak)..PCL's are almost impossible to tear and from his comments I guess Decker thinks it isnt too big of a deal.

    Might be alright timing too with Smith most likely coming back next week. Wouldnt want Decker to sit out any game but it could be smart to rest him and get him back for the Miami game.

    But seriously what the hell happen? Did anyone catch it?

    But in other news, at least Devin Smith is coming back, and we need someone whose speed can go down the field in a matter of seconds.

    I don't know much about knee injuries but if it's a 2-3 week thing then the bye is well timed.

    Eric Decker said he doesn't believe his knee injury is serious; nothing that requires surgery, he said #jets

    My money is on sprain or contusion.

    Major knee injuries get TV time with the player down on the field. A lot of people, including myself, didn't even realize he was in the locker room until they brought it up during the broadcast.

    Don't like the sound of this...

    Jets WR Eric Decker was told his knee injury won't require surgery: "I'm going to be smart about it. I'm not going to rush myself back" #nyj

    Great news on lack of surgery but it sounds like some time off for rehab.

    If he misses the next two games (doesn't even travel to London), then comes the BYE. I'm all for that rest period if he needs it.

    He can still miss 3-4 weeks so it's not good. Of course if Devin Smith is ready it won't be as bad as it could be.

    Initial diagnosis is a sprained PCL, MRI today to confirm. Andre Ellington has the same injury with a timeline of 1-2 weeks. Jets have the Eagles, Dolphins then a bye, so we'll probably see him week 6 against the Skins if the diagnosis is right.

    Decker and Sheldon back the same week. Nice boost.

    Do Philly and Miami have good passing defenses?

    The only play I can think of where this happened is...on that long pass from fitz where he came down with it against the 2 defenders who knocked the ball away

    Both good run defenses, bad pass defenses. The Eagles paid Revis money for Byron Maxwell and he's allowed a perfect passer rating this season. He's been exposed without that system and 3 all pros around him. The Dolphins have made Kirk Cousins and Blake Bortles look like pro bowlers.
