Jets backup QB Erik Ainge told The Associated Press on Thursday night that his playing career is over because of injuries to his right foot and throwing shoulder. "This isn't the step I wanted, but it's the hand I'm dealt," Ainge said. "There's nothing I'd love more than to come back to New Jersey when the lockout's over and compete for a job and be around those guys and their families. I miss them as people, but it's just not in the cards physically right now."
