FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets will be without Eric Decker this weekend -- and maybe for a while longer.The star wide receiver has a partially torn rotator cuff that will sideline him for at least Sundays game against the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Todd Bowles announced Friday that Decker will be week to week with the right shoulder injury.Decker was injured against Buffalo on Sept. 15, but the shoulder worsened last Sunday during the Jets loss at Kansas City . He said after the game that the shoulder was sore, but an MRI revealed that it was worse than that.I fell on it the second game against Buffalo and Ive had issues with my shoulder for a while now, Decker said in the Jets locker room. It doesnt mean you cant play through it. Youve just got to see whats going on and its just something that, at this point, is kind of week to week and well see if I make some progression.Decker did not participate in practice all week. He didnt even take part in stretching with his teammates until Friday.Decker, who has nine catches for a team-leading 194 yards and two touchdowns, said there was no precise moment he realized the injury had gotten worse against the Chiefs. He began to notice something was wrong when he was trying to push off or separate from defenders.Ive had previous injuries to my shoulder, he said. When I fell, I thought it was my AC joint, but to get the diagnosis, it kind of is what it is and something that kind of (stinks) at this point because its early in the season. I felt like this was going to be a year where I could avoid injuries, but thats something Ive got to deal with.For now, Decker hopes to avoid surgery during the season.Yeah, for sure, he said. Thats why, at this point, well see how much strength and range of motion I get back.The receiver is uncertain, however, whether the injury will eventually require surgery.Thats something that, down the road, well have that discussion when needed, he said. Right now, my focus is to do what I can as far as rehab and see where Im at.With Decker sidelined, the Jets receiving corps is a bit banged up. Brandon Marshall is practicing and playing through knee and foot ailments, and rookie Jalin Marshall is out for a few weeks with a torn labrum.Quincy Enunwa, who leads New York with 17 receptions, will likely see an increased role, as could undrafted rookie Robby Anderson, whose 264 yards receiving in the preseason was tops in the NFL.Enunwa was a sixth-round draft pick in 2014 who has worked his way from the practice squad as a rookie to being the Jets No. 3 receiver.Ive been kind of blessed to get a few targets these past three weeks and Ive handled them well, he said. If more targets come, then more targets come. I think with the work that I put in during the offseason, Im prepared for whatever comes.Anderson starred at Temple and became one of the standouts of training camp this summer by consistently making plays.My mindset because I was undrafted, that put a chip on my shoulder, he said. I didnt come here to just say that I was a Jet. I came here to potentially become a starter and thats what I worked hard for over the summer.If he fills in at Deckers spot, he could see a lot of Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman -- a scenario that doesnt faze him.I mean, I go against (Darrelle) Revis every day, so Im not really too worried, Anderson said. I have a lot of respect for (Sherman), but Im not worried about whos in front of me. Im out there to do my job.The Jets re-signed Jeremy Ross earlier this week, and they also have seventh-round draft pick Charone Peake as healthy receivers. Although New York tight ends have no receptions yet, the team could also quickly get Austin Seferian-Jenkins , who was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Monday, involved in the passing game.Luckily, we have so many talented receivers behind me, Decker and B-Marsh that if somebody goes down, we still have guys that dont think the stage is too big for them, Enunwa said. Im excited to see what theyre capable of.Game notesLT Ryan Clady is questionable with a shoulder ailment, but Bowles said he will play Sunday. ... LG James Carpenter was excused from practice for personal reasons. ... Bowles was asked if he has seen anything this week that makes him expect a rebound performance from Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw six interceptions last week. Yeah, he cant play any worse, Bowles said. You cant coach it any worse. Theres no way to go but up.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLDiscount Jordan 3 Wholesale .

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger doesnt expect his Sooners to reach last years Final Four-level status immediately with so many new faces.Thats why hes fine with the baby steps they took on Tuesday. Freshman Kristian Doolittle scored 17 points to help Oklahoma defeat Northern Colorado 87-66.The young Sooners have three new starters, and four freshmen played at least 10 minutes against the Bears.Theres not an unrealistic expectation from my perspective, Kruger said. Weve got a lot of work to do. We need a lot of reps. These games are all great for us. Every time these guys get on the floor and get a little more comfortable and identify their role in a game situation, its huge for us.Doolittle did his damage on 7-for-8 shooting and added five rebounds in just 18 minutes off the bench. He scored 11 points in the second half to help the Sooners pull away.Jordan Woodard had 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. He didnt know he was so close to a triple-double.I just got some rebounds, he said. I was just trying to be aggressive. Coach wanted everybody to stay in attack mode.Christian James added 14 points and seven rebounds for the Sooners (5-1), who shot 54 percent from the field.Jordan Davis had 15 points and seven assists, DJ Miles scored 11 points and Chaz Glotta added 10 points for Northern Colorado (2-5).Oklahoma led 40-34 at halftime behind seven points, six rebounds and four assists from Woodard. Northern Colorado scored the first five points of the second half to cut Oklahomas lead to 40-39, but the Sooners finally got things going. A technical foul against Northern Colorado coach Jeff Linder helped spark the Sooners to a 10-point lead with about nine minutes to play. Woodard sent the fans to the exits when he made a circus layup and was fouled to put the Sooners up 79-61 with about three minutes to go.The Sooners outrebounded Northern Colorado 26-16 in the second half, and the Bears commiitted 15 turnovers overall.ddddddddddddWith their length and athleticism, they can make a few more mistakes than we can and kind of make up for it, Linder said.BIG PICTURENorthern Colorado: The Bears were battle tested with losses to traditionally strong programs Butler, Santa Clara, Arizona and Bucknell. They hung tough with the Sooners until the final minutes, and may be a handful for teams in the Big Sky Conference.These guys, for being such a young team, and a new coaching staff, they have not shown one ounce of fear, Linder said.Oklahoma: The Sooners struggled against a non-power five conference opponent for the second straight game -- they defeated Abilene Christian 72-64 last Friday.STAT LINESOklahoma center Khadeem Lattin had five blocks and three steals to go with 10 points. He spearheaded a defense that allowed just 36.6 percent shooting.He affected a lot of things on the defensive end, Kruger said.NEW STARTERMatt Freeman, a freshman from New Zealand, got his first start in Doolittles place. He didnt score and took just two shots in 13 minutes.Doolittle said not starting for the first time this season affected him.To say the least, but I didnt take it personally, he said. I have all the faith in the world in Matt to go out there and do a great job.UP NEXTNorthern Colorado hosts Northern New Mexico on Saturday.Oklahoma travels to No. 17 Wisconsin on Saturday. The Sooners will have their best chance to shake off their sluggish play and show they havent fallen off too much since Buddy Hield left for the NBA.Good challenge there, Kruger said. Kohl Center is a tough place to play. A top-ranked team -- we respect that. Weve got to go in there and value the ball and compete like crazy on the boards and defensively.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP . ' ' '
