FLORHAM PARK,Wholesale NFL Jerseys USA, N.J. (AP) — Rookie wide receiver Jalen Saunders will sit out the New York Jets' preseason game against the Giants on Friday after being hospitalized over the weekend following a car accident.
Saunders, a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma, had what police called a "medical event" on his way to the team's practice facility last Friday morning. He was released from the hospital Sunday morning and rejoined the team Monday, but did not practice.
"Right now, we're taking a cautious approach with him, which is a smart approach," coach Rex Ryan said. "We'll see how he progresses."
Ryan did not rule out Saunders returning to practice at some point this week, but added that it's too early to determine whether he will be available for the season opener against Oakland on Sept. 7.
The speedy Saunders, the 104th pick overall, is expected to compete for a role as a backup receiver and punt returner. He returned two punts for 11 yards in the preseason opener against Indianapolis, but did not catch a pass.
"We'll see how he is each day,Wholesale Jerseys China, and I know our trainers and our doctors are going to monitor his situation," Ryan said. |
