Revis, Bush leave with injuries

-

MIAMI (AP) — Reggie Bush limped off the field. Darrelle Revis was driven away.

They were both gone with apparent left knee injuries long before a four-hour overtime marathon between the Jets and Miami Dolphins ended — but their absences could clearly mean plenty for both clubs going forward.

Bush departed just before halftime. He stayed down after being tackled on a play where the Dolphins were apparently trying to run out the clock but chose not to simply take a knee, giving their best offensive player the ball on a handoff instead. Revis left in the third quarter, falling awkwardly and grabbing at his knee even before he hit the grass, a non-contact injury where he wound up covering his face with gloved hands in obvious pain.

At least the Jets gave their injured star something to celebrate, beating the Dolphins 23-20 on a field goal by Nick Folk with 6:04 left in overtime.

“No news yet,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said when asked about Revis in a postgame interview. “He’ll have an MRI when we get home tomorrow.”

There was no update on Bush’s status from the Dolphins, either. The team said after he got hurt that he was questionab­le to return — he did not come back, but spent at least some of the second half on a stationary bike on the Miami sideline, presumably to keep the knee somewhat loose.
