FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets might go with rotating right tackles in their regular-season opener -- and maybe beyond.Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that both Ben Ijalana (EYE-juh-LAH-nuh) and Brent Qvale (KWAH-lee) could play the position against Cincinnati on Sunday.Until it sorts itself out, yes, Bowles said. Its possible.The two offensive linemen are competing for the spot, which is open because starter Breno Giacomini is out for out least the next six weeks while on the physically unable to perform list with a back injury.Giacomini missed all of training camp with the injury, but neither Ijalana nor Qvale established himself as the clear-cut replacement.Still, the Jets didnt put in any claims on the waiver wire over the weekend as teams made final cuts.Ive been in this league for 16, 17 years, Bowles said. Right tackles dont fall off trees. Youre not going to claim a starting right tackle in this league. Theyre like quarterbacks.Ijalana has played in seven games in five NFL seasons, mostly on special teams while also serving as a backup left tackle. DBrickashaw Ferguson was the Jets starting left tackle the last 10 years before retiring during the offseason, and he never missed a game or practice in his career -- which left Ijalana with no opportunities for playing time on the offensive line.The 27-year-old Ijalana was re-signed by the Jets in April and moved over to right tackle during offseason workouts. He was comfortable at the new spot by the time New York played its first preseason game last month.I felt like I had a strong camp, Ijalana said. I was pleased I was able to manage the transition from left to right tackle.Qvale is entering his second full season and has started one game, lining up as a jumbo tight end.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was undeterred by the suggestion that a rotation at right tackle could impact the continuity of the offensive line.Weve got to put five linemen out there, so whatever five theyre going to be, were going to trust theyre going to be the right ones, Fitzpatrick said. Both of those guys have been working really hard and have done a good job. Well see how it ends up going, but thats not anything that is of concern to me.Ijalana said Giacomini has helped him with perfecting techniques and pointed out some tips as he continues to learn the position.Im just happy to be in the race, he said.Game notesThe Jets public relations department made a clerical error Sunday when it announced former Stony Brook LB Victor Ochi had been signed to the practice squad. Ochi, who was waived by Baltimore without an injury designation, visited the Jets, but did not sign with the team after not passing his physical. He injured a shoulder in the Ravens preseason finale and is expected to be out 1-2 weeks. The Jets still plan to sign Ochi to their practice squad when he is healthy. ... WRs Brandon Marshall (hips) and Quincy Enunwa (concussion) practiced and will be ready for the season opener. Bowles wouldnt say if he was optimistic about the status of LB David Harris (shoulder). Ive got to see him hit somebody, he said. Its still early in the week. ... Jalin Marshall, one of three rookie WRs to make the Jets roster, will serve as the teams primary returner Sunday. ... Bowles on the Jets keeping four QBs with Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg: They all can play and were trying to keep the best football players. Each of them showed enough in the preseason. (Well) give (Hackenberg) a redshirt year and the other three can play. ... The Jets currently have Kellen Davis, Brandon Bostick, Braedon Bowman and Eric Parker at TE, but Bowles said its too early to tell whether theyll keep all four. Probably not, he said.

WASHINGTON -- The swelling in Bryce Harpers left knee isnt getting any better, so the Washington outfielder will see a specialist next week and wont be coming off the disabled list when he is eligible. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Thursday that Harper visit Dr. James Andrews on Monday for a second opinion on the knee that has been troublesome ever since the 20-year-old slugger ran into the wall at Dodger Stadium on May 13. "Weve just got to get the swelling out. Weve got to get the inflammation out of there," Johnson said. "We havent been real successful with our treatment here." The news is the latest health blow to the Nationals, who are struggling to tread water in the NL East after starting the season as division favourites. The clubs other marquee young star, Stephen Strasburg, was placed on the disabled list Wednesday with a strained muscle in the lower back. The team announced Thursday that left-handed reliever Xavier Cedeno has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take Strasburgs roster spot. Johnson said Harpers knee was swollen after some light jogging in the pool Thursday. The injury has been diagnosed as bursitis, but it hasnt responded to anti-inflammatories. Johnson said theres not enough fluid in the knee to drain it and that surgery to remove the bursa sac would be a "last resort." Harper is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, but he said he will need to play a couple of rehab games in the minors to test the knee. "Im not going to rush it. Im going to take as much time as I can to get it right," Harper said. "I want to get back in this lineup 100 per cent. I dont wwant to get back in it 80 per cent.dddddddddddd" The NL Rookie of the Year dismissed any thought of having a cortisone shot to help him get back on the field. "I dont want to put any of that stuff in my knee, in my body," he said. "It would do some damage to my knee, and Im not going to do that at 20 years old." Harper leads the Nationals with 12 home runs and a .287 batting average, and has 23 RBIs. With Strasburg sidelined, Cedenos recall was meant to be a temporary measure because the Nationals were going to need to promote a starter for Saturdays game against Minnesota. Thursday nights game against the New York Mets was postponed due to rain, however, allowing Johnson to move Gio Gonzalez from Thursday to Friday and Nathan Karns from Friday to Saturday. Jordan Zimmermann would then pitch on regular rest on Sunday, although the entire three-game series against the Twins could be affected by rains from Tropical Storm Andrea. Johnson said the other starter pitcher on the DL, Ross Detwiler, is scheduled to make a rehab start at Single-A Potomac on Saturday. Detwiler, who has been battling a strained oblique muscle, is scheduled to throw 40-50 pitches for Potomac, and, if all goes well, will return to the big league rotation late next week. Johnson also said that Danny Espinosa had a cortisone shot for the small wrist fracture that landed the second baseman on the DL. Espinosa had MRIs on both his right wrist and his shoulder, which is still showing the effects of his decision to play last season with a torn rotator cuff. Johnson said Espinosa will be sidelined four or five days before resuming baseball activities. ' ' '
