Gang Green are looking more like the Red Cross.
The Jets will limp into Pittsburgh tomorrow minus All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis and two other key pieces, tight end Dustin Keller and linebacker Bryan Thomas.
On the bright side, the Steelers also will be limping when they greet the Jets at Heinz Field in the wake of Pittsburgh media reports that the hard-hitting defensive duo of James Harrison (knee) and Troy Polamalu (calf) won’t play, either, despite being listed as questionable on the official injury report.
The Jets, though, didn’t appear to take much solace in the Steelers’ health woes because their own are too disconcerting — Revis is the heart of coach Rex Ryan’s defense and is widely considered the best corner in football, while Keller is Mark Sanchez’s most reliable weapon.
Revis suffered what the Jets describe as a mild concussion in the second half of last week’s 48-28 rout of the Bills when he was accidentally kicked in the head by teammate Bart Scott.
Revis will miss just the third game of his six-year NFL career because of health reasons after the combination of a team physician and an independent neurologist refused to clear him for contact this weekend. Clearance from the independent doctor is now mandatory under the league’s toughened concussion policy.
