Mark Sanchez will miss the entire 2013 season as he has decided to undergo shoulder surgery.

Sanchez tore his labrum in the preseason and faces a four to six month recovery time.

Sanchez has two seasons remaining on his contract, but he will likely be released in the offseason.

The New York Jets are not considering a change at quarterback despite the struggles of Geno Smith.

"It's not a thought at this point right now," said Rex Ryan when asked.

Smith committed four turnovers in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans.

The Jets have Matt Simms and Brady Quinn as options.

The New York Jets have placed Mark Sanchez on the injured reserve-designated for return list with his injured right shoulder.

Sanchez would become eligible to start practicing in six weeks.

"That six week period really marries up with what we're hearing from the latest medical information," Jets general manager John Idzik said.

Premature reports surfaced earlier in the week indicating Sanchez would undergo surgery on his shoulder and miss the remainder of the season.

Mark Sanchez has a labral tear in his right shoulder and is "likely to have surgery" that would end his 2013 season.

Sanchez is waiting to make a final decision as he could opt to rehab the shoulder.

Sanchez, replying to a text message, told ESPN late Wednesday night: "If I needed surgery right now, I never would have left (Dr. James) Andrews' office. I would've stayed and got the surgery." Asked if he wanted to deny that he was likely to have surgery, Sanchez texted: "There's nothing to report. It's reckless."

Sanchez was injured while playing with 11 minutes left in a preseason game. 

Woody Johnson hinted that Sanchez was partly to blame for the injury.

The New York Jets will continue to start Geno Smith at quarterback.

Brandon Lloyd has received inquiries about returning to the NFL from at least six teams, but he is not physically or mentally ready to resume his playing career.

Lloyd has received interest from the New England Patriots, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers.

Lloyd would be entitled to at least a minimum salary of $940,000 to play.

Danny Amendola and Rob Gronkowski are unlikely to play for the New England Patriots in Week 2's game against the New York Jets.

Amendola suffered a groin injury in Week 1, but stayed in the game.

Shane Vereen is out for several weeks due to wrist surgery.

The New York Jets defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 18-17 with a last second Nick Fold field goal setup by a Geno Smith throw to Kellen Winslow for 25 yards and a scramble for 10 with a 15-yard personal foul tacked on.

The Jets had a +10.7 edge in The Trench Counter, as the Buccaneers racked up 102 yards in penalties and recorded just 12 first downs. The Jets had a +13 advantage in Total Rushes/Completions.

Smith went 24-for-38 for 256 yards, one touchdown and an interception while adding 47 yards on the ground.

Josh Freeman went 15-for-31 for 210 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Vincent Jackson caught seven balls for 154 yards. Doug Martin scored a touchdown, but rushed for just 65 yards on 24 carries along with two fumbles (one lost).

Mark Sanchez suffered a separated right shoulder during the New York Jets' third preseason game.

Doctors team popped it back into place, but it was a shoulder subluxation.

Jay Glazer mentions that Sanchez already had a "partially torn labrum," which only adds to Sanchez's difficult recovery.

The Jets are starting Geno Smith in the absence of Sanchez.

The New York Jets have released Brady Quinn.

By releasing Quinn now, the Jets won't have to pay his full 2013 salary.

Quinn could be brought back on a wee-by-week basis and will still be paid for Week 1.

Rob Gronkowski and Muhammad Wilkerson advanced out of the first round by moving past their AFC East counterparts in Jairus Byrd and Reshad Jones.

Gronkowski was instantly productive as a rookie in 2010, catching 42 balls for 546 yards and 10 touchdowns, but his 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2011 made the football community reimagine what is possible at the tight end position. Gronkowski led the NFL in receiving touchdowns that season while finishing sixth in receiving yards and fifth in total receptions.

Bill Belichick has always loved the possibilities of the tight end position due to the matchup issues and versatility of players as big and athletic as Gronkowski. Not only is Gronkowski the most dynamic receiving tight end, but he is also an excellent blocker in run situations. He is basically the LeBron James version of Mark Bavaro and impacts the Patriots’ offense more than any other player not named Brady.

The issue with Gronkowski, who is still just 24 years old, is his injury history that dates back to college when he had back surgery. Gronkowski had another back operation this past offseason and he has had several operations on his forearm. The back is the more serious issue and could eventually shorten the duration of his prime, while his broken forearm dates back to Week 11 of the 2012 season and caused him to be limited in the Patriots’ Super Bowl XLVI loss to the New York Giants.

Assuming Gronkowski can return to full health, he will reclaim his spot as one of the ten most valuable players in the NFL.

Wilkerson is a member of the already famed 2011 NFL Draft class that included the likes of Von Miller, J.J. Watt and Aldon Smith, all of whom widely considered to be in the top-15 of all players in terms of immediate value despite just two seasons in the books.

Wilkerson, a defensive end, has steadily improved and had a combined 37 sacks, hurries and quarterback hits last season. Those numbers are on par with Haloti Ngata and Calais Campbell, who are the gold standards at the position.

Wilkerson wasn’t selected for the Pro Bowl, which was one of the biggest snubs of 2012. Wilkerson was ranked 14th overall in terms of total production by Pro Football Focus and was dominant as a 3-4 end could possibly be both against the pass and run.

Wilkerson will turn 24 in October and the hype momentum is beginning to swing in the opposite direction as it almost always does with even marginally talented players in New York, but the attention has been well-earned. Wilkerson will anchor a defense and franchise badly in need of remaking itself.
