FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Joe McKnight has had a summer he’d rather forget.
There have been questions about the New York Jets running back’s conditioning, an arrest for unpaid traffic warrants, a concussion, migraine headaches, a few questionable posts on Twitter and some tension with the media. McKnight, entering his fourth NFL season, tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that the last few weeks have been “rough” but he now knows “who my enemies are and who’s with me.”
McKnight, the team’s primary kick returner the last two seasons, says he’s over his concussion and was a full participant at practice Tuesday, without the red no-contact jersey. He also insists he’ll play in the Jets’ preseason game Saturday night against the Giants so he can “get out there and really prove myself.”
