Mark Sanchez Goes Down In Jets vs. Bills Game

With the Jets leading the Buffalo Bills 16-10 in the third quarter of their Thursday night game, Mark Sanchez pulled up on a double reverse to David Clowney.

After handing the ball off to Clowney, Sanchez gingerly walked to the sideline, favoring the right knee he injured last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Sanchez was placed on top of a table, allowing doctors to stretch out the leg to see if there was any ligament or tendon damage. Sanchez walked off the field, not showing any pain, and into the club locker room where he was to be fitted for a brace for that right knee.

Sanchez already has a brace on his left knee.

Kellen Clemens is playing for the rest of the evening as the Jets quarterback. More later on Sanchez's status of course. At least Gang Green will have 11 days before their next game at Tampa Bay. So Sanchez's health will be a big story of the next couple of weeks.

I think Sanchez needs some time to adapt, but he has all the physical and mental tools to excel at the pro game. Quarterbacks like Manning and Aikman had pretty rough starts and turned out pretty well.
