Strickland

Fellow backup Isaiah Trufant is also likely out, so depth will be a small issue for the Jets if one of their top corners goes down. Overall, their absences shouldn’t have much of an impact against the Dolphins.

This may not be a concussion, as Strickland seemed fine walking to the locker room. With 13 minutes left in the game, Strickland’s return has been deemed questionable.

Wow. He was injured, but no one thought it was this serious. It’s a big loss for the Colts secondary.

As expected, rookie NT Kenrick Ellis is active for the first time this season. C Nick Mangold (ankle) is also active and in the starting lineup for the second straight week. The fact that Baxter is amongst the inactives is a good indication Mangold’s injury is a dead issue. The Jets will be thin at cornerback with both Trufant and Strickland missing, but it should only be a problem if Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie or Kyle Wilson goes down with injury.

It should be a minor issue for the Jets as long as Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson are able to stay on the field against the Dolphins. Strickland should be back in Week 7, though Trufant could be sidelined longer with what’s been described as a “significant” hamstring injury.

Strickland started in week one against Baltimore and aggravating the injury.

A third-round pick in 2003, Strickland had been on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The former Colt will help fill the hole left by Lito Sheppard.
