Vinny Testaverde

12/27/2005

Taking over for starter Brooks Bollinger late in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots, Testaverde connected with receiver Laveranues Coles for a 27-yard score. With the toss, the Jets' veteran quarterback became the only player in NFL history to record a touchdown pass in 19 consecutive seasons.

12/8/2005

Testaverde has recovered from his calf and ankle injuries and is available for duty. According to Jets head coach Herman Edwards, the veteran quarterback will see some time over the last four games of the season, but just how he will be used is yet to be determined. Brooks Bollinger is slated to start this weekend's matchup with the Oakland Raiders.

11/21/2005

Testaverde went 15 of 25 for 152 yards, threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles after taking over for Brooks Bollinger, who suffered a concussion and was forced to leave early in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran signal caller was unable to finish the game, however, leaving in the closing minutes with a sprained ankle. He was replaced by third-stringer Kliff Kingsbury.

11/7/2005

Testaverde could be available for backup duty, but he won't be in the Jets' starting lineup when they take the field against the Carolina Panthers next weekend. Head coach Herman Edwards already has announced that Brooks Bollinger will get the nod. After straining a calf muscle in the team's previous contest, Testaverde returned to action in Sunday's meeting with the San Diego Chargers, but he aggravated the injury in the second half and missed the rest of the game.

11/4/2005

Testaverde has taken the majority of the snaps with the Jets' first-team offense in practice this week, and barring any last-minute setbacks, he will be under center for Sunday's tussle with the San Diego Chargers. The veteran quarterback strained his lower calf muscle in the Jets' last game, but used last week's bye to rest and recover. Officially, he has been listed as probable.

10/31/2005

Testaverde returned to the practice field with the New York Jets on Monday and split first-team snaps with Brooks Bollinger. The veteran quarterback was forced to leave the team's last contest with a strained lower calf muscle and used last week's bye to rest and recover. As long as he continues to progress over the course of this week, Testaverde is expected to be under center when the Jets take the field against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

10/25/2005

Further tests on Testaverde's ailing right leg have revealed a strained lower calf muscle, not an Achilles tendon injury as originally thought. The Jets' veteran quarterback does not believe the ailment is serious, and he plans to be under center when the team takes the field against the San Diego Chargers on November 6. The Jets have a bye in Week 8.

10/5/2005

Looking for some veteran experience to get the Jets' offense moving, head coach Herman Edwards has named Testaverde as the team's starter going forward. The 41-year-old quarterback, who inked with the club last week after Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler went down with shoulder injuries, replaces third-year signal caller Brooks Bollinger.

9/27/2005

Testaverde has agreed to terms with the New York Jets, and his signing reportedly will become official if he passes a physical on Tuesday. With their top two quarterbacks -- Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler -- out indefinitely with shoulder injuries, the Jets decided to add the 41-year-old signal caller, who was with the club from 1998-2003.

4/30/2005

The New York Giants may have an interest in signing Testaverde as a back-up to Eli Manning.
