GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — Mark Sanchez won’t need surgery on his injured right shoulder.
The New York Jets quarterback said Thursday doctors told him rest and a mild rehabilitation would be enough to return the shoulder to full strength.
Sanchez was injured when the Jets won at Pittsburgh on Dec. 19, but the shoulder wasn’t a factor in New York’s run to the AFC championship game. The Jets lost the title game to the Steelers, who play Green Bay in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The Jets won road playoff games at Indianapolis and Green Bay, and Sanchez has already tied the NFL record with four postseason road wins in his first two seasons.
