Brandon Marshall briefly exited Thursday night's game after suffering a slight knee sprain.

He returned to the field about 15 minutes later, but the incident scared the New York Jets wide receiver.

"I thought it was over," Marshall said. "I thought I'd be fishing in my backyard in Florida."

He was brought down by the facemask following a catch early in the second quarter. Marshall's knee appeared to be twisted as he was brought down, and he appeared to be in considerable pain immediately after the hit.

"I thought he was down for the count," Todd Bowles said.
