Pro Bowl NT Kris Jenkins, arguably the Jets' most irreplaceable defensive player, left practice Saturday with a strained calf muscle.
"I just felt, 'Pop, pop, pop,'" Jenkins said afterward.
That doesn't sound good, but Jenkins insisted that "it's nothing serious." He estimated that he could miss anywhere from two to six days, but he doesn't see it as a long-term injury. Neither does coach Rex Ryan, who expects Jenkins to be sidelined only a few days.
"Hopefully, it's not that big a deal," Ryan said.
Jenkins didn't have a wrap on his calf, but he was walking with a severe limp. Noting that his 30th birthday is tomorrow, Jenkins made some old-man jokes at his own expense. (Daily News)
