Jets Q&A: Chris Ivory: I could've played

Why did Chris Ivory not play

if he was active for the game?

The Jets running back, in full uniform, stood on the sideline but never made an appearance in the Jets' 24-17 loss to the Eagles Sunday. And his absence was felt, as the Jets were outrushed 123-47.

"He warmed up and said he could play," coach Todd Bowles said of Ivory, who was questionable for the game because of a quadriceps injury. "He missed a lot of practice time during the week. We thought it would be better to go with the other two guys to make sure he was full speed next week.
