    It's very difficult and dangerous to put a joint, other than a finger/toe, back into place. there things to consider such as veins and arteries as well as not to tear anything on the way back in. Once in the healing process is long but you can still play. Depends upon how much pain you can handle.

    Personally, in a pinch, at his size (250lbs.) I would use Tebow as a change of pace/backup for the RB position. Keep Greene, for now, as the feature. Sprinkle in McNight and Tebow. That would be my opinion.

    The Jets are having normal injury luck this season after a run of good seasons in that regard.

    Kahlil Bell was just waived by the Bears. He's 25, versatile in both running and passing game, and played pretty well for the Bears down the stretch last season. Might be a good stopgap while Powell is out.

    He played extremely well in his brief appearances last year. I'd be all for him.
