Darrelle Revis: 'I'm Playing Sunday'
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis proclaimed to the New York media after practice Thursday, "I am playing Sunday," ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini is reporting. Revis' personal update came after the All-Pro defensive back was cleared by doctors to participate in full-contract drills in practice, which is a solid sign that he will make his return this week against the Miami Dolphins (1 p.m. ET on CBS).
Revis missed last week's 27-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion, which he suffered during Week 1's contest against the Buffalo Bills. If Revis does return, it will be a boost to the Jets defense that allowed Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to complete 24 of 31 passes for 275 yards and two second-half touchdowns.
In Week 1, Revis was able to shutdown Buffalo Bills No. 1 wide receiver Stevie Johnson, who compiled just four catches for 55 yards, in a dominating 48-28 Jets victory. In that game, Revis recorded an interception, three pass deflects and five tackles, one for a loss.

Darrelle Revis Will Not Play In Jets-Steelers Game
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will not be playing in the team's Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the lingering effects of a concussion, according to head coach Rex Ryan. Ryan had previously stated that Revis was not going to play in the game if he was not 100 percent, which appears to be the case.
He is believed to have suffered in the injury in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills.
Revis said on Thursday that he had experienced head aches that made him feel like he was in a fog but stated he was feeling better. The All-Pro corner was even cleared for physical activity on Wednesday and participated in strecthing drills with his teammates in addition to working out on the excercise bike.
Despite his progress, Revis has yet to be cleared for practice and stated that he was going to allow the medical staff to determine his status for Sunday.

Darrelle Revis Unsure If He'll Play In Week 2 After Concussion
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is unsure if he will be able to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the concussion he sustained in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills.
Revis stated that he was suffering from headaches that made him feel like he was in a fog. On Thursday, the All-Pro corner said that he felt good and was going to allow the doctors to determine whether he should play against the Steelers.
On the bright-side, Revis was cleared for physical activity on Wednesday and stretched with the team prior to spending time on the exercise bike. However, he has yet to be cleared for practice.
According to head coach Rex Ryan, the corner will not play if he is not 100 percent and his status will be determined by Saturday.
It is believed that the injury was sustained when Revis attempted to tackle Bills' running back C.J. Spiller and was inadvertently kicked in the head by teammate Bart Scott.

Darrelle Revis Does Have 'Mild Concussion'
The New York Jets announced on Monday morning that cornerback Darrelle Revis suffered a "mild" concussion during Sunday's regular season opener against the Buffalo Bills. While it was initially believed that the All-Pro had not sustained a concussion, further testing disproved that preliminary diagnosis.
As of this time, it's unclear when Revis will be able to return. Head coach Rex Ryan was informed of the injury on Monday morning and stated that the 27-year-old corner looked good. However, he won't be the only one determining his status for Week 2.
Rex Ryan says he will lean on trainers/doctors to determine if Revis will play vs Steelers #nyj
