New York Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's practice, but coach Aaron Glenn indicated the first-round pick should recover without missing any games. Bailey, who was rushed by the passer in 11-on-11 drills, appeared to limp slightly as he walked to the sideline and later joined his teammates in the locker room.
Jets coach Glenn stated Bailey was "off to an impressive start" and would be fine. With the team taking a break from practice on Sunday and Monday, Bailey should have ample time to rest before the team starts joint sessions with Tampa Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday. Defensive coordinator Brian Duker praised Bailey's performance, noting several plays that would have resulted in sacks if contact had been involved.
Meanwhile, rookie safety VJ Payne is expected to miss around three to four weeks due to a bone bruise, and edge rusher Kingsley Jonathan bruised a thigh but is expected to be fine.
