CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Jets center Nick Mangold has returned to practice after sitting out New York’s preseason-opening game against the Giants with a headache, saying he doesn’t believe he has a concussion
Mangold missed two days of practices last week after being struck in the temple by teammate Sione Pouha during a play. He practiced Saturday, but says he “didn’t feel right” on Monday.
He says he felt “foggy” for the first time in five NFL seasons. Upon hearing that, coach Rex Ryan says he told Mangold to sit the game out Monday night.
Mangold says he feels normal again — “at least Mangold normal” — and anticipates playing in the team’s next preseason game Saturday night at Carolina.
