FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Wide receiver Stephen Hill, tight end Dustin Keller and defensive tackle Sione Po'uha will not practice Thursday for the Jets. Hill (hamstring) and Keller (Hamstring) both missed Sunday's game against San Francisco, and Po'uha has dealt with a lower-back issue this season.

Hill said Wednesday his hamstring is feeling better but he will have to test it either Sunday or Monday before he knows about his availability for the Monday night game. The offense could certainly use Hill and Keller, as wide receiver Santonio Holmes was recently lost for the year with a Lisfranc injury.
Po'uha's injury isn't a setback, but instead seems to be a continuation of the back problems that have been nagging him this year. He played 27 snaps in the 34-0 loss to the 49ers.
"You play as many snaps as he did and obviously that's something we'll stay on top of," Jets head coach Rex Ryan said. "He's been battling that all season really."
Linebacker Bart Scott (toe), fullback John Conner (hamstring) and linebacker Bryan Thomas (hamstring) also will not practice Thursday, while safety Eric Smith (hip/knee) is limited.
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie (shoulder), linebacker Nick Bellore (shoulder), quarterback Mark Sanchez (back), center Nick Mangold (wrist), linebacker Calvin Pace (achilles), defensive end Mike DeVito (calf), guard Brandon Moore (hip), safety LaRon Landry (heel), guard Matt Slauson (knee), tackle Austin Howard (back), receiver Jeremy Kerley (finger), safety Josh Bush (shoulder), safety Yeremiah Bell (shoulder) and tight end Jeff Cumberland (ribs) will all practice fully.

Sanchez said QB coach David Lee is stressing footwork drills. He said Lee considers proper footwork "an art form." #Jets

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

Regardless of who represents him, Geno Smith will sign a four-year contract for $5 million, give or take a few thousand. #wagescale #Jets

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Geno on Jay Z's Roc Nation: "Being in NY, from a standpoint of what they can do in the city, connections they have, it's a good move." #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
