Former Jets C Nick Mangold passed away at age 41.

Mangold posted online in mid-October that he was in need of a kidney transplant after being diagnosed with a genetic defect that led to chronic kidney disease. The Jets confirmed Mangold’s passing in an X post on Sunday. A first round selection by the Jets in the 2006 NFL Draft, Mangold served as the team’s starting center for 11 seasons, making seven Pro Bowls. Mangold is survived by his wife and children.

Jets C Nick Mangold’s Monday MRI confirmed a high-ankle sprain, and there is “no reliable timetable” for his return.

Although his MRI turned up no other damage, Mangold could be out until after the Jets’ Week 8 bye. Mangold has never missed a start since coming into the league in 2006, however, and could easily return sooner. For now, undrafted rookie Colin Baxter will start in his place in Week 3.

The NY Daily News reports that Jets C Nick Mangold is out 2-3 weeks “at a minimum” with his high right ankle sprain.

“It could be awhile,” a source told beat writer Manish Mehta. Mehta refers to the loss as “sobering news” after Sunday’s defeat of the Jaguars. Mangold is widely considered the league’s best center, and his backup is an undrafted rookie. Expect more struggles for the Jets’ inside running game going forward. Through two games, Shonn Greene is averaging just 2.88 yards per carry.

Initial X-rays came up negative for a fracture, but Jets C Nick Mangold will have an MRI on Monday morning.

Profootballtalk.com’s Mike Florio confirms that the preliminary diagnosis is a high ankle sprain, which can knock out a player for 4-6 weeks, and in some cases more. The good news is Mangold is a very tough player, and offensive linemen can gut out this sort of an injury with relatively more ease than a skill guy. The Monday MRI will confirm whether Mangold will miss time.

Jets declared C Nick Mangold inactive for Sunday’s Week 3 game against Oakland.

No surprise here, as Mangold was ruled out earlier this week. Undrafted rookie Colin Baxter will be in the spotlight as his replacement. Also inactive: QB Kevin O’Connell, WR Logan Payne, S Emanuel Cook, RB Bilal Powell, OL Rob Turner and DT Kenrick Ellis. Santonio Holmes, who was limited in practice throughout the week, is active as expected. Rookie DE Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder, questionable) is also active.

Jets C Nick Mangold (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday.

“I’m not one of those ‘he has to practice’ guys,” coach Rex Ryan said Thursday. “We’re talking about Nick Mangold here, so, no. He doesn’t have to practice.” Mangold has done well to avoid a setback this week, but he’s still far from a sure bet to play against the Ravens.

Jets C Nick Mangold (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 4.

It’ll be a real testament to Mangold’s toughness if he makes it back from a 4-6 week high ankle sprain after one missed game. The Jets will work Mangold out before Sunday night’s matchup with the Ravens. New York is likely to struggle with the running game regardless, but Mangold’s return can only help.

NFL.com’s Albert Breer reports Jets C Nick Mangold (ankle) will start against the Patriots Sunday.

As expected. Mangold was expected to miss a minimum of 2-to-3 weeks upon suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2, so he’s returning on the earlier end of expectations. The struggles of rookie Colin Baxter in his place essentially left the Jets with no choice but to rush back their All Pro.

Jets C Nick Mangold (ankle) says he’s “ready to go” for Week 5 against the Patriots.

“Chomping at the bit to get back,” Mangold said. “I’m ready to go.” Mangold is officially questionable, but HC Rex Ryan has made clear he expects him to play. Mangold’s return cannot come soon enough for a Jets offense that could neither run nor pass in a disastrous effort against the Ravens last weekend.
