The Jets came through the game with the Colts pretty healthy, but they did have one injury to a significant player.
Starting running back Chris Ivory injured his ribs in the second quarter and left the game. Ivory had seven rushes for 17 yards before suffering the injury.
Ivory has a history of injuries, so this could be a cause for concern for the Jets. He missed time last year with a hamstring injury and left the final game of the year in Miami after breaking a rib. But coach Rex Ryan said Ivory would be OK.
“Ivory should be fine,” Ryan said after the Jets’ 13-10 win. “It’s his ribs and not ours, so he’s fine.”
Wide receiver David Nelson also left the game with a hand injury in the second half. Nelson said he just took a helmet to his hand and it’s bruised. He said he would have stayed in the game if it were a regular-season game.
Rookie TE Jace Amaro saw his first NFL action and had two catches for 18 yards. Amaro has dropped some passes during training camp, but showed no problems on Thursday night.
Amaro, the team’s second-round pick, saw some time with the starting offense and played into the second half with the second and third teams.
Rookie ILB Jeremiah George saw time with the starting defense after they benched starter Demario Davis early in the night and A.J. Edds left with an injury. George, who has had a quiet training camp, had a couple of bad plays while in. George failed to cover RB Daniel Herron out of the backfield on Matt Hasselbeck’s 12-yard touchdown pass to him. George, the team’s fifth-round pick, is no lock to make the team.
