I wouldnt be too concerned about it other then from a depth standpoint.

First-year coach Eric Mangini acknowledged Thursday that Teague had a left leg injury and that he would miss the three-day minicamp that concludes Saturday, but team officials did not divulge the seriousness of the situation.With Teague sidelined, rookie Nick Mangold of Ohio State, the latter of the Jets' two first-round choices two months ago, worked with the first-unit offense the first two days of minicamp. Universally regarded as the top center prospect in this year's draft, Mangold could join fellow first-rounder D'Brickashaw Ferguson in the starting lineup. The former University of Virginia star and the fourth player chosen overall this year, Ferguson has been working as the No. 1 left tackle.Jets officials indicated when they selected Ferguson that he would be an immediate starter. The consensus on Mangold was that he might need a little longer to move into the lineup and that Teague would provide a veteran, stabilizing influence for the interior of the line for a year or two. The Jets in March released six-time Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae, who subsequently signed with Tennessee, for salary cap purposes.The other projected starters on the offensive line are left guard Pete Kendall, right guard Brandon Moore and right tackle Adrian Jones. Having two rookies among the starting offensive linemen is rare in the NFL, but Ferguson and Mangold were the highest-graded players in this year's draft at their respective positions.Mangold was a three-year starter at Ohio State, an excellent technical blocker and solid athlete. Some scouts rated him the second-best overall line prospect, behind only Ferguson, in the 2006 draft pool.The heretofore durable Teague started at center for the Buffalo Bills in each of the past four seasons. His addition in April was seen as a major step toward solidifying a blocking unit in flux. Teague, 31, is a tough interior blocker, a solid technician and a savvy player who can make all of the blocking calls on the line.In his four seasons with the Bills, the eight-year veteran missed only four starts, all in '04 when he suffered a strained left knee. A former University of Tennessee star, Teague entered the league as a seventh-round choice of the Denver Broncos in the 1998 draft. He began his career as a left tackle, but injuries limited him to just 18 games and four starts in his first three seasons. Teague finally earned a spot in the lineup in 2001, starting all 16 games at left tackle, and then signed with the Bills as a free agent in the spring of 2002.For his career, Teague has appeared in 94 games and started 80 of them.Len Pasquarelli is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2487696</div>Not to concerned though cause like I said we have Mangold.
