The chances of Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis playing this week sound slim.
Revis suffered a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Texans. His symptoms were still so bad Wednesday that the Jets sent him home to rest.
“He just wasn’t 100 percent still and the doctors won’t let him sit in meetings just yet,” coach Todd Bowles said.
Unless Revis makes a quick recovery over the next few days, it looks as if he will miss a game for the first time this season. Bowles said either Marcus Williams or Buster Skrine would play in his place.
“We’re ready to play without him, but if he comes back it will be a bonus,” Bowles said. “We’ll see later in the week. We’re preparing to play without him.”
Bowles said playing without Revis would not have a drastic effect on their game plan for the Dolphins.
“You don’t change it too much,” he said. “You tinker with certain things on the side one way or the other but the game plan will be the game plan.”
Center Nick Mangold (hand) also did not practice Wednesday. Mangold has stitches in his right hand and still cannot snap.
“I’d like to see some improvement tomorrow,” Bowles said. “He’s still pretty swollen and pretty sore. He did get stiches and everything. It’s kind of a deep hand injury.”
Mangold, who never says much about his injuries, said he is hoping he can make some snaps Thursday.
DE Muhammad Wilkerson said that Bowles “went off” on the team after Sunday’s loss in Houston. Bowles explained why he exploded on the team.
“It was just a culmination of the losses and the way we lost this one, the execution at the end,” he said. “You’re pissed off after a bunch of games and you go off different ways. It happens in coaching.”
Asked if his team needs a wake-up call, Bowles said no.
“I think we’re awake. That’s the problem. We just need to execute better,” he said.
DT Sheldon Richardson (hamstring) practiced fully and will play Sunday after missing last week’s game. TE Kellen Davis was excused from practice for personal reasons. … WR Brandon Marshall (toe) was limited in practice.
Dolphins interim head coach Dan Campbell said former Jet Quinton Coples will have a role for them this week. Miami claimed Coples off of waivers on Tuesday after the Jets cut him.
“It was a bit of a no-brainer,” Campbell said. “[Executive Vice President of Football Operations and former Jets general manager] Mike Tannenbaum had a history with him. He knows who he is, character-wise we know he has really good character and we just feel like we’re about to get the best of Quinton Coples yet, we’re about to get — the best is ahead of him and we’re excited to have him.”
