Although Bateman reportedly told reporters he doesn't expect to miss significant time, he was observed in a walking boot, and high-ankle sprains typically sideline players for multiple weeks.

Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the re-injury, raising concerns about his immediate future. With the Jets facing a quick turnaround for a Thursday game, any injury makes his Week 11 availability against the Patriots highly unlikely.
