Health issue likely sidelining Jets' DC Kacy Rodgers Sunday

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers missed practice Friday and likely won't coach Sunday because of an undisclosed health condition.

Coach Todd Bowles was visibly shaken when he announced the news to the media.

"He's a tough guy," Bowles said. "It's a serious thing."

Rodgers, 49, coached practice Thursday, but skipped his weekly media session because of a doctor's appointment. On Friday, he wasn't at the facility.
