FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets center Nick Mangold, one of the NFLs most durable players, is battling a significant right-ankle sprain and is expected to sit out Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.Mangold, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, has missed only four games in 11 seasons.Hes not running yet, hes walking, coach Todd Bowles said on Thursday. As the days go by and hes not running yet, it doesnt look good. Well hold out another day or two.In a brief appearance in the locker room, Mangold, 32, was seen walking with a pronounced limp. He has been staying off his feet as much as possible, so much so that he hasnt even participated in the stretching period at practice.The Jets are preparing Wes Johnson to make his second career start on Sunday.Weve got a lot of confidence in Wes, but at the same time, some of the other players have to take ownership and leadership in this thing as well, so we can get everything communicated correctly, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said.The Jets (2-5) rely on Mangold on make their line calls and direct traffic. Theyre 1-3 when hes out of the lineup.Mangold was injured in the first quarter last Sunday. He went down awkwardly when left tackle Ryan Clady rolled up the back of his leg. Mangold was taken immediately to the locker room and never returned to the game.In other injury news, Bowles ruled out linebackers Darron Lee (ankle) and Bruce Carter (quadriceps) and right tackle Brent Qvale (neck). Lee, their first-round pick, will miss his second game in a row.Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, dealing with residual soreness from offseason surgery to repair a fractured fibula, could miss his second straight game.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Nico Rosberg sat slumped in his chair, exhausted and exasperated after another race and world title was taken away by Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. Then came the hat toss seen around the world.These friends-turned rivals return to Texas and the U.S. Grand Prix in very different places this week. This time, its Rosberg with the big lead and Hamilton running out of time if he hopes to retain his Formula One championship.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 33 points with four races left on the schedule. That means Hamilton has to make a big push starting Sunday on a track where hes won three of the last four years.America has been good hunting ground for me, Hamilton said.A win streak alone wont do it. Hamilton needs a bad race from Rosberg somewhere. If Rosberg finishes second three times and finishes third once, hell still claim his first career championship. A Rosberg victory anywhere along the way would all but clinch it.My frame of mind at the moment is to have fun, Hamilton said. Im determined to win. Theres never a day in my life when I dont want to win. I could come here like Ive got to win every race, but Ive been racing a long time. I know what Im doing so just go do it the best I can and enjoy.Is that concession?Absolutely not, Hamilton said. Theres still 100 points out there. Its possible.Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who won a couple of close title chases, agreed.Hes quick enough, Vettel said. Im sure hell go for it. Its only over when its over.Rosberg may dictate when the end comes. Hes been a different driver since his moment of post-race infamy in 2015.After Hamilton clinched last seasons title in Austin, he playfully tossed Rosberg his podium cap in the drivers cool-down room. Rosberg immediately threw it back at him in a petulant moment captured on live television.The split-second reaction symbolized the meltdown of Rosbergs title efforts and the relationship between two driverss who became friends when they were coming up through the junior circuits.ddddddddddddLast year this race obviously didnt work out so great for me, so Im looking forward to getting back out there and doing my best to get it right this time, Rosberg said.Rosberg emerged from his Austin disaster with steely determination. He won the final three races of 2015 and the first four of 2016. A mid-season slump allowed Hamilton to charge back from a 43-point deficit, but Rosberg has been coolly efficient of late with a run of four wins in the last five races.Rosberg refused to be pulled into thinking about the pressure facing both drivers or whether hes walking a tightrope of emotion with a title so close within reach. His father, Keke Rosberg, won the championship in 1982.I dont know how much pressure Lewis is putting on himself ... Im going to focus on this weekend, Rosberg said.Rosberg also said he wont settle for the safety of second place on Sunday.I will try to push for the win, 100 percent, he said. With the car I have, I can win on any track against Lewis.Hamiltons title hopes took a huge dent two races ago in Malaysia when he was leading late but was forced to retire with an engine problem. Hamilton looked dejected when he got out of the car day and said it felt like something or someone was working against him.A higher power, he later said. It feels right now that the man above or any higher power is intervening a little bit.Like the previous two seasons, Mercedes has dominated the field with 15 wins in 17 races. No other driver has factored into the title chase.If he loses the title, Hamilton said hell try to take it like a man because you cant win them all.Look at all the champions in the past who have who have won championships and lost championships, he said. It is part of the game. ' ' '
