William Perlman/The Star-Ledger CB Antonio Cromartie (groin) was not in uniform for practice today.
Jets C Nick Mangold (ankle) and CB Antonio Cromartie (groin) will not participate in practice today.
Mangold was not out on the practice field during the portion of practice open to the media. Cromartie and CB Isaiah Trufant (hamstring) did stretching and warm-ups with the team but were not in uniform and did not join position drills.
Coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday he expected Mangold and Cromartie to be at least limited early in the week but both should play vs. San Diego.
DL Ropati Pitoitua (knee) and CB Donald Strickland (concussion), who sat out Monday's game, were participating in position drills today.
WR Eron Riley, signed off Denver's practice squad to the Jets' 53-man roster, was on the practice field wearing No. 19.
The Jets were not in pads today, perhaps due to the quick turnaround from the Monday night game.
CB Darrelle Revis, who picked off Miami QB Matt Moore twice in the Jets' 24-6 win Monday night, was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Sunday's game against the Chargers will be Lupus Awareness Day, hosted by The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) and the Atlantic Health Jets Women’s Organization (AHJWO). Jets owner Woody Johnson founded ALR in 1999, when his daughter was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease.
Purple lupus awareness bracelets will be distributed, and fans can make donations at the stadium gates or by texting LUPUS to 85944 (a $10 donation).
