Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery says it's best he sits against the Raiders and comes back healthy next week against the Dolphins.
Cotchery will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury.
"I don't want to be out there for five games just half speed,'' said Cotchery, the Jets' leading receiver with 24 catches for 360 yards and a touchdown. "I just want to be out there ready to go full speed and be able to help the offense and not hinder the offense. That's the focus to get back to full speed so I can get out there and be who I want to be.''
Said coach Rex Ryan: "We definitely don't want this happening all the time and each week we're wondering if he's going to be up. We don't want to make it worse. If we have a chance to get him 100 percent or near 100 percent, that's probably the best option.''
