The Jets reached a deal with rookie cornerback Dee Milliner yesterday, who is expected to help fill the hole left by Darrelle Revis. He arrived during practice today, and did not take the field. Tomorrow is an off day. Milliner told reporters that the shoulder he had surgery on is ready to go.
Dee Milliner says he's "100 percent back" from his offseason shoulder surgery, but realizes he won't go "full throttle" right away. #nyj
