I wonder whether that will be that. If the Jets are getting truly competitiony, one might wonder whether Patterson deserves to make the roster. This has not exactly been a preseason worthy of Canton for the veteran cornerback. This situation also seems like it might be difficult for Patterson to return. There were some pretty explosive accusations leveled by both sides here in public. It might be worth keeping an eye on this.

Brian Costello might have made the best point.

Getting suspended for the final week of the preseason? A lot of players would call that a vacation.
