An MRI on Mark Sanchez’s injured right shoulder appears to show that the New York Jets quarterback has a partially torn labrum but the Jets aren’t satisfied with that assessment and will seek a second opinion. Read more after the jump.
The Jets will seek a second opinion on Sanchez’s shoulder this week from renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews, according to the source. Andrews has made headlines most recently for his work with Robert Griffin III.
If Sanchez does have a tear in his labrum, he will not necessarily need surgery.
Sanchez, who suffered the injury last month in the Jets’ preseason game against the New York Giants, is inactive for Sunday’s season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie Geno Smith started at quarterback.
