Carl Dahlstrom left the game and didn’t return being ruled out by Jets PR as dealing with an upper-body injury. Following the game the Jets bench boss indicated “Carl’s going to get checked out tomorrow but this one is not going to be short term. I know that already. I’ll give you more detail the day after tomorrow but this is not day to day.”
