Rookie running back Joe McKnight may survive the final set of roster cuts and be a part of the New York Jets 53-man roster heading into the 2010 NFL season, he’s not exactly in the good graces of head coach Rex Ryan. After struggling with fumbling issues during the preseason, including during the team’s final preseason tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles, Ryan expressed his disappointment in McKnight:
“I was disappointed,” Mr. Ryan said. “Here’s a guy who’s on the bubble of making the active roster, and right now I don’t have confidence in him. I don’t see how he can make the active roster. That’s how I feel about it. I’m disappointed in him.”
