Jets Not Too Concerned With QB Mark Brunell's Calf Injury

[BigBlueBruiser]

Jets QB Mark Brunell has been out with a calf injury, but rookie Greg McElroy has impressed enough to keep the staff at ease with the situation behind Mark Sanchez. So far this preseason, McElroy has completed 29-of-48 passes for 267 yards and two scores. When asked about his concern regarding Brunell's injury, Rex Ryan responded, "I like the way our young guy, Greg, is coming around. I am not too concerned about that." McElroy's future in the NFL likely is as a backup, and he has already shown he has the attributes to remain on rosters as a team's No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback.
