Darrelle Revis to have MRI on left knee Monday

MIAMI -- Cornerback Darrelle Revis has never missed more than three games in an NFL season since coming to the Jets as a first-round draft pick in 2007. The Jets hope that streak will continue, but there's no guarantee after he suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Dolphins.

They'll get a better idea Monday, when Revis has an MRI to determine the extent of his injury.

Revis was injured trying to make a cut on his left knee while pursuing running back Daniel Thomas. He was not hit on the play, but his knee appeared to buckle. He went down and writhed on the field for several minutes while being tended to by the team's medical staff. He limped off under his own power.

Revis was returning from a one-game absence because of a concussion he suffered in the opener after being accidentally kicked in the helmet by teammate Bart Scott.

"You're always concerned with guys being injured, and clearly with Darrelle, that's our best player, so of course you're going to be concerned," coach Rex Ryan said. "We'll find out about it with the MRI."

The Jets did not make Revis available after the game.

"I kind of was hoping it was just a cramp," linebacker Calvin Pace said. "But I saw them working on his knee. You kind of say a prayer for a guy."

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie said he's not sure of Revis' status, but said the team would be prepared if he misses significant playing time. The Jets host the 49ers on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

"We have to make sure guys are ready," Cromartie said. "It's always hard when your No. 1 corner goes down, but at the same time, we have to make sure guys step up and do what they're supposed to do."

Third-year cornerback Kyle Wilson, normally the team's nickel back, replaced Revis in the regular defense Sunday. Ellis Lankster was used as the nickel corner. Wilson, a former first-round pick out of Boise State, said he's ready in case Revis can't play.

"That's my job, to be in this role right now," he said. "That comes with the job. I'll prepare and be more than ready every week. Really, it doesn't change anything. It's more playing time, but I think any corner would like that in the NFL."

Wilson generally played well in Revis' absence, but he was called for a key pass-interference penalty late in the fourth quarter.

Revis has made an effort in recent months to tutor Wilson about what it takes to be a successful NFL cornerback. If the MRI results are bad, Wilson might need to rely on that advice in the weeks ahead.
