| Coach Eric Mangini said Tuesday veteran quarterback Brett Favre isn’t likely to play in the Jets’ final preseason game, according to Pro Football Talk. “It would be safe to say I’m leaning towards that,” Mangini said. “He’d love to be able to get tons of work and have all the OTAs and all that stuff. It’s just not where we are right now. The most important thing to me is us getting ready as a group and getting ready for Miami. I think the more work that he does with our guys in the group, the better. [I] really look at the last preseason game as being able to evaluate individuals as opposed to the team, and it’s really important from that perspective.” |
