LaDainian Tomlinson reinjured the left knee that forced him to sit out for two games. He got rolled up by Redskins safety Oshiomogho Atogwe during a tackle on the sideline on a 16-yard reception. But the running back returned in the third quarter and played a few more snaps.
"I just tweaked my knee again, but it's not as bad as it was before," said Tomlinson, who thought a flag should have been thrown for a late hit. "What really got me was slipping on that carpet, and it kind of just tweaked it again. I should be able to play [Sunday]. It shouldn't be something where I miss a game."

Jets tailback Shonn Greene did not practice Monday afternoon as he continued to recover from the rib injury that knocked him out of last Thursday’s loss to the Denver Broncos. He remained optimistic he would return to practice on Tuesday.
“I feel good,” Greene said. “I’ll have some extra padding. I’m not worried about it.”
Greene, the team’s leading rusher, had X-rays taken during the game in Denver, and said the results showed no structural damage. He insisted he would have been able to return to the game, but he was never reinserted by Rex Ryan as the Jets struggled to move the ball and finished the game with 83 rushing yards.
Ryan he expects Greene to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, but injuries have mounted in the backfield. Tailback LaDainian Tomlinson, mainly used as the third-down tailback, missed Thursday night’s game with a sprained MCL. Tomlinson was relegated to agility drills during practice on Monday but said he would play against the Bills.

Jets HC Rex Ryan thinks both Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson will play vs. the Bills this week.
We will continue to monitor the situation. The matchup with the Bills is a nice one, but 2nd year back Joe McKnight looked very good this past week.
Shonn Greene's X-rays negative, expects to play in Week 12

Jets RB Shonn Greene said he had his ribs X-rayed. No fracture. Expects to play next week against the Bills.
Joe McKnight filled in admirably for Greene, gaining 121 total yards from scrimmage on 22 touches. Bilal Powell gained just 18 yards on eight touches. If both Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson can't play, McKnight would be a RB2/flex option against the Bills in Week 12.
