Ten days after indicating they had no plans to put Mark Sanchez on injured reserve, the New York Jets reversed field Saturday and placed the former starting quarterback on short-term IR -- meaning he is eligible to return after eight weeks.
Sanchez, who has a labral tear in his throwing shoulder, said during a conference call Saturday that he agrees with the decision. Sanchez said he will take a conservative, non-surgical approach, although neither he nor general manager John Idzik ruled out the possibility of surgery after the season.
