Jets could name starting QB after Monday Night game

Aug 22, 2009

The Jets quarterback competition could come to a conclusion Monday night if either Mark Sanchez or Kellen Clemens shines against the vaunted Baltimore Ravens' defense. Coach Rex Ryan admitted that he could "definitely" name his starter next week before the third preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 29 if one of the quarterbacks produces in a big way against one of the league's stingiest defenses.

"You're going against (a) top group," Ryan said Saturday morning after the team's open practice at their Florham Park facility. "Obviously, you're taking the body of work. It won't be just through one game. But if somebody steps up and shines against what is one of the best defenses in the National Football League, then you have to weight it more than you would going against somebody else."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
