STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Injuries are mounting for No. 10 Penn State, as coach James Franklin announced Tuesday that offensive tackle Paris Palmer will miss the rest of the season after suffering a leg injury in the first quarter of Saturdays game against Indiana.Franklin declined to release specifics about the injury. Palmer is now one of four injured Nittany Lions offensive linemen.We do have a little bit of an injury situation going on, Franklin acknowledged during his weekly news conference.Offensive tackle Brendan Mahon, who was hospitalized last week, was not listed on this weeks depth chart. But Franklin again declined Tuesday to say whether Mahon was out for the year, saying only that, Well see how it goes.Offensive lineman Connor McGovern, a true freshman, also was injured Saturday -- although Franklin said it was too early to say whether he would return in time for Saturday nights game against Rutgers. The fourth injured lineman, Andrew Nelson, suffered an apparent knee injury last month.Palmers injury Saturday was the latest blow to an improved offensive line that took an obvious step back without four tackles. Penn State allowed 15-tackles-for-loss against Indiana.The redshirt senior limped off the field Saturday and headed to the locker room after blocking on a play in which quarterback Trace McSorley scampered for a 10-yard touchdown. Palmer later returned on crutches.As a result, Franklin has not ruled out taking off the redshirts of true freshmen Will Fries and Michal Menet. As it stands, redshirt freshman Ryan Bates and redshirt sophomore Chasz Wright are expected to start Saturday.Franklin remained optimistic about any potential changes Tuesday, however, because Penn State overcame numerous injuries at linebacker earlier in the season. At one point, seven linebackers were hurt or unavailable for the Lions.Im proud of the mentality we had at linebacker earlier in the year when we faced some challenges, he said. Same thing with the offensive line right now.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Ryan Fitzpatrick looked out at the practice field and couldnt help but get excited.After a terrific season a year ago, the New York Jets offense is expecting even bigger things. And, with Matt Forte now teamed with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, its enough to make a quarterback downright giddy.I feel pretty good about it, Fitzpatrick said Wednesday. It was fun out in practice today, just to have everybody out there running around, with all the different options and guys. Just continue to work on that communication, but thats what were looking forward to.The Jets, who open at home against Cincinnati on Sunday, finished 10th in overall offense last season, when Fitzpatrick set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes. Meanwhile, Marshall set franchise bests with 109 receptions, 1,502 yards receiving and 14 TD catches. New York also set team marks with 5,925 net yards and 4,057 yards passing.They were all surprisingly gaudy numbers for an offense that was one of the most improved in the league. Under Chan Gailey, the Jets leaped 12 spots in total offense. New York also finished third in red-zone efficiency (66 percent) after being last in the NFL at 36.2 percent in 2014.I think that we have more confidence going into the year this year than maybe we did last year, Fitzpatrick said. I think maybe we expect more out of ourselves, but that being said, weve got to go out there and do it, and its hard to look ahead or look at the entire season and put some goals on it.I think it really just starts with Sunday and setting the tone, and really trying to figure out what kind of football team were going to be this year.A lot will depend on how Fitzpatrick, who was re-signed to a one-year, $12 million deal just before training camp started, performs this season.Some fans and media still look at him as the ultimate journeyman, a quarterback who has been with six teams in his 12-year career. Others think perhaps he has finally found a home with the Jets, operating Gaileys offense efficiently -- just as he did during their days together in Buffalo from 2010-12.It certainly helps that Fitzpatrick has two star receivers in Marshall and Decker, who have a full year of experience playing together.I think, at least on offense, were more familiar with each other, Fitzpatrick said. I think that we have a better idea of everybodys strong pooints and weak points.dddddddddddd And I just think everybodys going to have a better understanding of the system and what were trying to get done.Adding a playmaking running back such as Forte, whos just two years removed from setting an NFL record with 102 catches, is another reason for optimism.The things that I saw from afar, Im now seeing them and I cant wait to get into the live action, Fitzpatrick said of Forte. I just think the overall awareness and the experience that he has playing the game of football, he kind of fits right into that huddle.The Jets also have three speedy rookie wide receivers in the mix with seventh-rounder Charone Peake and undrafted Robby Anderson and Jalin Marshall. The trick for Fitzpatrick will be trying to spread the ball around.The problem isnt when were in the huddle, its when were breaking the huddle, Fitzpatrick joked. They think theyve all learned from when Brandon, when we break the huddle says, `Hey, Ill be open. Theyve all, like, taken that cue.Marshall re-established himself last season as one of the best receivers in the league, routinely coming up with big catches. He insists statistics are of no concern to him these days.Neither he nor Fitzpatrick has ever played in the postseason. They both want that to change. After coming within a victory of getting to the playoffs in 2015, Marshall heads into this season with what he said is a lot of anxiety.I just want to win, Marshall said. I dont care about the big play. I dont care about making `SportsCenter. I dont care about contracts and all of that. At this point in my career, I just want to win. Im not happy. Im not happy until I win. Im not excited about, `Oh, come Sunday, the flyover. Well, Sunday will be special because its 9/11, obviously, but when the clock hits zero, where do we stand?And thats what I care about for the rest of my career.Game notes Marshall was limited at practice with sore hips, but isnt concerned about his availability for the opener. ...
