Things are beginning to look ominous for Jets CB Ray Mickens, a classy veteran who returned after one year in Cleveland to lend experience to a young secondary. Mickens, 33, didn't get much action last week against the Redskins and he was limited to a handful of practice reps leading into tonight's game against the Giants.

Unless he is injured - coach Eric Mangini doesn't disclose injuries - Mickens appears to be the fifth or sixth cornerback, behind Andre Dyson, David Barrett, Justin Miller, rookie Drew Coleman and Derrick Strait, who is splitting time at cornerback and safety.

Mickens provides tremendous leadership, a quality that should help on a rebuilding team.

Mickens may provide leadership, but if he isn't cutting it then he may have to go. Leadership isn't enough to keep a player around, JMO.
