Chris Ivory is one of the players expected to be part of that stable stable of running backs the Jets will use this season and he suffered an injury in the preseason opener against the Colts on Thursday night.
Ivory injured his ribs late in the second quarter of the game and did not return. Ivory wasn’t necessarily going to play any more at that point in the game, but the injury would still have an impact if it limited Ivory’s availability in the coming days. Coach Rex Ryan wasn’t overly concerned about that possibility.
“Ivory should be fine,” Ryan said, via NJ.com.
With Chris Johnson expected to get a bulk of the carries, Ivory was taking reps as the goal line back in camp. He came over in a trade from the Saints last season and had trouble getting on the field because of injuries, but showed glimpses at times. Right now, it looks like a three-headed monster running attack for the Jets, with Bilal Powell also in the mix.
