New York Jets linebacker Quinton Coples will be sidelined indefinitely with an ankle injury, and coach Rex Ryan says veteran Garrett McIntyre will take his place on the starting defense.

McIntyre, in his third year with the Jets, practiced with the starters Monday. The Jets announced Sunday night that Coples, who led the team with 5 1/2 sacks last season as a rookie, was having a "medical procedure" on Tuesday. Ryan would say only that the team hopes Coples is back "sooner than later."
