Rex Ryan plans to make IK Enemkpali a co-captain vs. Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Rex Ryan has done it again.

The former Jets coach and current Bills coach announced Monday that he plans to make IK Enemkpali a co-captain for Thursday night's AFC East game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium.

Enemkpali is the former Jets linebacker who punched then-teammate Geno Smith and broke his jaw during a locker room altercation on Aug. 11. Now he will be front and center for the coin toss at MetLife Stadium.

"Yeah. I'll get ripped, whatever. I do this all the time," Ryan told Bills beat writers, when asked about his decision to have Enemkpali serve as a captain.
