Jets’ Marshall likely game-time call with ailing knee, foot

Coach Todd Bowles says three players are rotating in Carpenter’s spot: likely Wesley Johnson, Dakota Dozier and a third whom he wouldn’t identify but is likely Brent Qvale.

Battling knee and foot injuries stemming from last Thursday’s victory over the Bills, Marshall spent most of his 15-minute session with reporters Friday talking up the Jets’ other receivers, preaching how important it is for him to be smart with the injury considering how early in the season it is, and his hope that he can make enough progress in the next few days to be out there.

CHIEFS: Kansas City will be without starting offensive lineman Parker Ehinger and backup Jah Reid, and likely without star running back Jamaal Charles for Sunday’s game against the Jets. “Just being honest and truthful they’re in our division, so you’re watching and you see what’s going on”. But I’m still hopeful that we still have a couple hours left to get a lot of treatment, rest.

The Jets will reassess Marshall’s knee and foot on Saturday, and it could come down to how he feels Sunday before kickoff. You want to be an asset to the team and not a liability.

I’m not where I want to be, but the good thing is there’s still time. As far as today, obviously, I’m not where I want to be. “It’s a knee. You saw the picture [of the injury]”. It’s a knee. There’s a lot of guys that are out this year because of knees. We have a really good team. “I’m confident in our receiving corps”.

Marshall has nine receptions for 133 yards this season after recording 109 catches for 1,502 yards and a career-best 14 touchdowns in 2015. There’s a lot of adrenaline and then if you go into a game and you have other injuries, you might take a Toradol, a pill or so, to help. “Usually what you’re fighting is getting the inflammation out, get the swelling out, and getting the flexibility back”.

If he can’t play, Eric Decker – who participated in a full practice after being limited Thursday with a shoulder injury – and Quincy Enunwa will shoulder the load at wide receiver.

Notes & quotes: Quarterback Bryce Petty and linebacker Erin Henderson did not practice. Linebacker David Harris was limited and is questionable for Sunday.
