FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Mark Sanchez says he will be ready to play in the New York Jets' game at Chicago on Sunday, despite being limited in practice by a sore right shoulder.

Sanchez played most of the Jets' 22-17 win at Pittsburgh last Sunday with a banged-up throwing shoulder after he "fell funny" on New York's second drive. Sanchez had an MRI exam on the shoulder Monday, which revealed no serious injury.

The second-year quarterback did mostly soft-tossing early in practice Wednesday, and even threw a few passes left-handed.

Sanchez says he's "playing, that's all there is to it," whether or not he feels 100 percent.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Santonio Holmes did not practice, sitting out with turf toe, but is also expected to play.
