Sprained ankle keeps Jets LB David Harris out of practice again

Jets LB Harris misses practice again

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets linebacker David Harris is sitting out practice for the second straight day with a sprained right ankle.

Harris, the Jets’ leading tackler, wasn’t on the field for practice or on the stationary bikes Wednesday while the team worked outdoors in frigid conditions.

Coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday it was too soon to tell if Harris would be able to play in the first-round playoff game at Cincinnati on Saturday.

Harris, one of the leaders of the NFL’s top-ranked defense, injured the ankle during the first half of the regular-season finale against Cincinnati on Sunday. He watched from the sideline in the second half.

Punter Steve Weatherford (right hamstring) was back at practice after resting Tuesday.
