Jets DC Kacy Rodgers could miss Sunday's game against the Broncos due to illness

The Jets could be denied defensive coordination Kacy Rodgers against the Broncos on Sunday after their coach fell ill.

Rodgers missed training Friday after missing his weekly press conference scheduled for Thursday.

"He's sick of a nature we can not talk about yet," Bowles said after Friday's training. "We'll see where he is and leave from there. … it's a tough guy. It's a serious thing. "

Bowles did not know if Rodgers would be with the team this weekend.

Rodgers' family told the Daily News he was being treated by a doctor, but they expect him to be fine. There will be more clarity in the next few days after additional tests.

Bowles and Rodgers have been part of the same coaching staff for three teams (Cowboys, Dolphins and Jets) for 13 years.

NOTES OF INJURY: Trumaine cornerback Johnson was officially dismissed after an injury to a quad at the trials on Thursday. Bowles said Johnson's injury was not considered a season-ending "at the moment", but that all seemed to indicate that he could miss several games. "He will be out this week," said Bowles. "Then we will monitor the situation after that and see how he feels." … Darryl Roberts and / or rookie Parry Nickerson will have more playing time depending on veteran Buster Skrine's deployment. The wide catcher Charone Peake (hamstring) and the tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) were excluded.

The Jets claimed that linebacker Tarell Basham had not waived the Colts and surrendered defensive lineman Bronson Kaufusi.

Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart has been released from the international rehearsal team with an injury regulation after recently suffering a serious foot / ankle injury.
