Early practice report

If you expect Damien Woody to be ready by Thursday night -- think again.

The Jets right tackle, who suffered a knee injury Sunday, was on the stationary bike this morning while the rest of his teammates took to the practice field.

It's also unclear whether Jerricho Cotchery will be ready for the Bengals game as well. The wide receiver participated in positiion drills, but went off to the side to stretch while the Jets did team drills.  

Head coach Rex Ryan didn't sound too optimistic Monday when asked about Cotchery's status. "It’s hard to say whether he’ll play or not," Ryan said. "I know we think he’s doing well. Will he be good enough to play on Thursday? I’m not sure."

Players who were limited yesterday -- DE Shaun Ellis (knee), WR Marquice Cole (hamstring), WR Brad Smith (back), CB Drew Coleman (groin) and NT Sione Pouha (ankle) -- were out on the field.
