Nick Mangold refuses to accept he likely won’t play Thursday

Nick Mangold earlier this week at practice.

Center Nick Mangold started the game, but could not finish it.

Mangold, who missed last week’s game due to a neck injury, played the first four Jets series before being sidelined for the rest of the game.

“It just didn’t do what I wanted it to do today,” Mangold said, “and it’s disappointing not being out there with the guys.”

The Jets’ offense struggled without Mangold, rushing for just 29 yards. With just three days to recover before playing the Bills, it seems unlikely Mangold will play Thursday, but he would not rule himself out.
