Darrelle Revis misses practice again, game-time call for Sunday

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets are bracing for the possibility of not having cornerback Darrelle Revis on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Revis, who strained his left hamstring last week against the Seattle Seahawks, missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday, raising doubts about his availability for the game.

Coach Todd Bowles said it will be a game-time decision.

"Right now, he's hurt," Bowles said. "Unless he gets better, it'll go right up until game time. He's been progressing and feeling better. We'll see on Sunday morning."

An MRI on Monday revealed a "minor" strain, according to Bowles. Revis, 31, has participated in light practice warm-ups, but he hasn't tested the hamstring by running full speed.

The timing couldn't be worse for the struggling Jets (1-3), who have allowed seven pass plays of at least 40 yards. Now they have to face the high-scoring Steelers (3-1) and their dangerous passing combination, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown.

Revis probably would be replaced by nickel back Marcus Williams in the starting lineup. Rookie Juston Burris, who has played only 23 defensive snaps in four games, would move up to the No. 3 corner spot.

The Jets expect to be without wide receiver Eric Decker (torn rotator cuff) for the second week in a row. On Thursday, Decker didn't rule out the possibility of season-ending surgery, saying "there isn't a definitive answer at this point."

Surgery has been discussed, he said, saying that conversation will be revisited "down the road."

"We'll look at it again and they'll let me know what the right thing to do is," Decker said.

The Jets are hoping rest and rehab will give Decker enough strength and range of motion to get back on the field, but they've remained noncommittal on whether that will happen.

"We haven't seen any progress with him," Bowles said, meaning Decker still isn't able to practice.

The coach didn't rule out injured reserve.

"We have to see how his progress is doing," Bowles said. "It's about him getting better first, seeing what he can and can't do before you make that decision. If he's worse every day, then that's an easy decision. But that's not the case right now.

"We'll play it week by week," he added. "When we have something in mind, we'll talk about it and we'll deal with it when that time comes."
