Jets RB Barlow sits out practice Tuesday to get sleep

After working to bolster the position, the Jets are without two running backs today. Curtis Martin is away from the complex for personal reasons which Eric Mangini insisted were non-medical, while Kevan Barlow is getting some much-needed shut-eye after a long two days in which he got no sleep before arriving in New York. So basically, the Jets revert to last week's tailback rotation and fans at training camp will have to wait until Wednesday to get a glimpse of Barlow in action (though he did run a few drills and take some light snaps on Monday afternoon).
That Barlow passed his physical on zero sleep must mean Lee Suggs was in bad shape.
Mangini said Barlow's day off does not preclude him from Friday's game against the Giants, but the coach said he will be cautious in using the running back. Imagine the ramifications of Barlow missing a blitz pick-up because of unfamiliarity with the schemes, allowing a clean hit on Chad Pennington that re-injures his shoulder.
