FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets senior defensive assistant Tony Oden was back to work and in good spirits Thursday, one day after being injured during a practice brawl.
Oden was struck during an altercation between players at a joint practice between the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday.
He was carted off the field and taken to the hospital, but he returned to his office later that evening to watch practice film.
Oden, whose left arm was in a sling, downplayed his injury Thursday, calling it «a little war wound» and adding, «I'll be all right.» He declined to specify the nature of his injury, except to say it's «a little uncomfortable at times.» He went through a full practice and was seen throwing passes — with his right arm, of course.
