If there is one thing you want to avoid at any minicamp, it's injuries. And the Jets had a major scare Friday morning as special teams ace Wallace Wright violently collided with linebacker Kenwin Cummings.
“We had a little scary thing happen to us today,” said Jets head coach Rex Ryan following practice. “I’ve been coaching 22 years and I’ve never seen something like that happen before. Both guys were running vertical and ran into each other.”
From my sideline angle, I watched RB Jehuu Caulcrick run a short out and Cummings bit hard. Caulcrick sprinted free upfield and QB Brett Ratliff floated a pass while Cummings furiously attempted to get back in the play.
The problem was there was a vertical play being run out of the opposite end zone. At the last minute Caulcrick saw what was happening, took his eye off the ball and somehow avoided contact. The hard-charging Cummings, though, met Wright and the impact resulted in a horrific sound.
Fortunately, both men escaped major injury. Cummings may have suffered a concussion while the Jets think Wright’s knee will clear an afternoon examination.
“Cummings was great on the football questions but wasn’t good on the general questions,” Ryan said. “I don’t want to make too much light of it, but at least he knows his football stuff.”
Kenwins mom Ms. Darlene B. Cummings said, " Kenwin is doing fine. He is ready to play football. At the present he is scheduled to start this season. We are looking forward to seeing him everyweek on the green.
His injury was scary for me but he said it was nothing. He did have to give up practice a few times due to the injury.
Keeping praying for his health and well-being.
Thanks"
