FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets announced Monday that quarterback Mark Sanchez sustained a minor break in his nose in the Jets’ 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Sunday and will have to wear a visor for a few weeks.
The team said he would not be limited by limited by the visor and could decide after a few weeks if he wanted to continue to wear it. Despite the injury, Sanchez threw for a career-high 369 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The news was not as pleasant for tight end Jeff Cumberland and cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
A magnetic resonance imaging test revealed that Cumberland, the team’s backup tight end, tore his Achilles’ tendon and is out for the season. Cromartie, who fumbled a kickoff return and in the secondary, bruised a lung and his ribs. His status for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens is not certain.
