CINCINNATI -- The Jets on Saturday night provided no updates on the status of rookie wide receiver Jalen Saunders, though head coach Rex Ryan did say Saunders was still in the hospital back in New Jersey.

"I don't know; I don't have any more information," Ryan said after the Jets beat the Bengals, 25-17, in a preseason game. "We'll see. The last I checked, there wasn't one doctor in here, so maybe you guys know more about it than I do. But I can tell you what I know, which is that we have no update for you."

Saunders, a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma, was involved in what the team initially called a "single-car accident" on Friday morning. But Florham Park police later said Saunders had a "medical incident" in his vehicle and that it was not believed he was involved in a crash.

A spokesman at Morristown Medical Center had referred all questions back to the Jets, who have refused to say more than what they did on Friday, when they said Saunders was taken to the hospital for "precautionary" reasons.
