NEW YORK -- Dimitri Pattersons mysterious absence is over. The veteran cornerback rejoined the New York Jets on Sunday night after inexplicably not showing up for the teams game against the Giants on Friday night. The Jets announced that Patterson returned to the teams training facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, and spoke with general manager John Idzik and coach Rex Ryan. The team didnt release any other details. Patterson left the team for about 48 hours, a situation that Idzik called "highly unusual." Idzik announced during a conference call Sunday that he learned through agent Drew Rosenhaus on Saturday that Patterson was OK physically and it is not believed to be a legal issue. But at that time, neither Idzik nor Ryan had heard from Patterson directly after leaving several messages for him. "Id like to talk to him," Idzik said, "so we could figure out whats behind it." It wasnt immediately clear if Patterson would face any discipline from the team, or if he would practice with the team Monday. Idzik said his "unexcused" absence would be handled accordingly, but added that he would rather not speculate on anything, including possible discipline, until the team had the chance to speak to Patterson. "Needless to say, this situation was not expected and is highly unusual," Idzik said. The 31-year-old Patterson was with the team Thursday night at a walkthrough practice at Hofstra University. Idzik said he was also present for meetings, a walkthrough and the pregame meal Friday, but didnt show for the game at MetLife Stadium that night. "Obviously, as the game went on, we still had major concerns for his health and where he was, but were unable to locate him," Ryan said. Ryan was asked about Patterson after the game, but the coach didnt let on that there was anything wrong, saying that the Jets would see if he could play in the preseason finale at Philadelphia on Thursday. "Quite honestly, at that point, I had no idea where he was, what his situation was and was really uncomfortable to go into details about it," Ryan said. Patterson, who has been dealing with ankle, calf and quadriceps injuries all summer, was expected to play against the Giants but it was uncertain how much. Both Idzik and Ryan said they had no indication that Patterson was unhappy, but thought he might have been frustrated with his injuries -- although he was working his way back onto the field. "There really wasnt any warning that we had of something like this," Idzik said. "There was nothing to indicate this kind of behaviour." Patterson was expected to start for the Jets as long as he was healthy. New York signed him to a one-year, $3 million deal in April. "Selfishly, we want Dimitri on this football team and I think we made that clear when we signed him that we had big plans for him," Ryan said. "Obviously, wed like to see him out here, so Im a little shocked he wasnt here. Still feel that way, but Im not real comfortable talking about it until we talk to Dimitri and find out whats going on." The players had a day off Saturday, but returned to the facility Sunday. Patterson didnt show until sometime Sunday night. Pattersons situation is the latest in what has been a brutal summer for the Jets cornerbacks. Top cornerback Dee Milliner is recovering from a high ankle sprain, and its uncertain whether hell be ready in time for the regular-season opener on Sept. 7. Third-round draft pick Dexter McDougle was lost for the season during training camp after tearing a knee ligament. A few other backup cornerbacks have also dealt with injuries throughout the summer. The team is so thin at the position, safety Antonio Allen has started the past two preseason games at cornerback. But Allen is going through the NFLs concussion protocol after injuring his head against the Giants. "We hope that with Dimitri everything works out and hes with us, but were going to be full steam ahead," Ryan said. "Thats the way well handle our business." NOTES: Ryan announced that QB Michael Vick will start at Philadelphia against his former team Thursday night, "but dont expect him to play long." Geno Smith and the rest of the teams starters are expected to sit against the Eagles. ... Smith, announced as the Week 1 starter by Ryan on Friday, said he has always been confident, but "I caught myself second-guessing myself last year for a lot of reasons." Smith, who struggled through an up-and-down rookie year, said he always knew he could play, but had to "fight through a bunch of different things, and I had to learn as well." ... LBs Troy Davis (quad) and Ikemefuna Enemkpali (foot) didnt practice Sunday, and neither did WR Stephen Hill (illness). Will Dissly Jersey .

You can watch the event, beginning with the preliminary bouts, on TSN4 at 5pm et/2pm pt. The main card kicks of on TSN4 at 8pm et/5pm pt. Here are TSN.cas predictions: Main Card: Alexander Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony Johnson (18-4) Andrew Robichaud, TSN.ca Gustafsson - With his quest for another shot at the light heavyweight title derailed by injury, Gustafsson has to prove once again that he is the rightful No. 1 contender. Having home field advantage shouldnt hurt. Johnson - With his weight issues in the past, Johnson has become a one-man wrecking crew at 205 pounds. He looks like he has finally found where he belongs as a fighter and that is dangerous for anyone stepping into the Octagon with him. PICK: Gustafsson via unanimous decision Ken Rodney, TSN.ca Gustafsson- With one man standing between himself and a highly anticipated rematch with Jon Jones, Gustafsson should not lack the motivation to have a good showing in this bout. Outside of his controversial loss against the champion, the Swede has not been beaten since 2010 and looked impressive at every turn. Johnson- Since a loss to Vitor Belfort, Johnson has rattled off eight straight victories, including a 44 second pummeling of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Power will be his advantage heading into this bout and will have to look for the big bomb if he wants to have his arm raised. PICK: Gustafsson via decision — Dan Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) Robichaud Henderson - Taking the second longest break between fights in his UFC career could be a good thing for the 44-year-old fighting legend, who has lost three of his last four bouts. Henderson may be fading but he can never be counted out. Mousasi - Coming into just his fifth fight in the UFC, Mousasi is far gone from the days of being a Pride, DREAM and Strikeforce champion but he has shown some life in two wins with the organization and can still compete, even if it comes and goes. PICK: Henderson via TKO Rodney Henderson – Returning to the middleweight division, Henderson is coming off a victory over Shogun Rua sandwiched around four high profile losses to quality opponents. He hasnt been in the Octagon since May 2014 but rust should not be an issue for the 44-year-old veteran. Mousasi – Like his opponent, Mousasi has lost more than hes won recently, including a third round submission defeat at the hands of Jacare Souza in his last outing. He should look like hes moving at twice the speed in this matchup. PICK: Mousasi via decision — Phil Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan Bader (19-4) Robichaud Davis - He put on a world-cllass performance in his last victory over Glover Teixeira, but a busy schedule at the top of the light heavyweight division means Davis has to continue to be dominant where he is in order to prove he belongs in the title conversation.dddddddddddd Bader - By no means a stepping stone, Bader has the chance to take out some of the top-tier talent he has faltered against in the past. A win over Davis is a big notch on his belt and could inject some life into a fighter who has been treading in middle-of-the-division waters for a while. PICK: Davis via unanimous decision Rodney Davis - The 30-year-old needs to take this fight to ground where he does his best work grinding down his opponent. The strategy worked in his last bout, a three round decision victory over Glover Teixeira. Bader - Looking for his fourth consecutive victory, Bader went the distance to earn wins against Ovince St. Preux, Rafael Cavalcante and Anthony Perosh. He also has knockout power and though a quick finish probably isnt in the cards a late one is a possibility. PICK: Davis via decision — Akira Corassani (14-6-1) vs. Sam Sicilia (13-5) Robichaud Corassani - The slump is real for the Swede after two straight knockout losses against Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway. Facing another opponent looking to get back in the win column is a good metric for where Corassani belongs in the featherweight division, if at all. Sicilia - His UFC tenure has been disappointing (3-4), to say the least. If the 28 year old hopes to build a successful career with the organization hell have to start making statements against comparable competition - starting with having his hand raised for the first time since May 2014. PICK: Corassani via TKO Rodney Corassani - The 32-year-old Swede has been stopped in his last two fights and even the home advantage didnt help in his last outing. His last victory was via DQ due to an illegal knee so he need to come out ahead to prove he still belongs at this level. Sicilia - Alternating wins and losses in his last four bouts has not allowed Sicilia to build any momentum in the featherweight division. He has been submitted in the second round in his last two defeats, including a September setback against Katsunori Kikuno. PICK: Sicilia via TKO — Preliminary Card: Robichaud: Tumenov over Musoke Rodney: Musoke over Tumenov Robichaud: Aliev over Robertson Rodney: Robertson over Aliev Robichaud: Ogle over Amirkhani Rodney: Ogle over Amirkhani Robichaud: Krylov over Nedkov Rodney: Nedkov over Krylov Robichaud: Taisumov over Christodoulou Rodney: Taisumov over Christodoulou Robichaud: Bektic over Redmond Rodney: Bektic over Redmond — Early Preliminaries: Robichaud: Pesta over Erokhin Rodney: Erokhin over Pesta Robichaud: Beal over Seery Rodney: Beal over Seery Cheap Buffalo Sabres GearWholesale Calgary Flames JerseysCheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche JerseysMontreal Canadiens Outlet StoreWholesale New Jersey Devils JerseysAdidas Arizona Coyotes JerseysCheap Adidas Boston Bruins JerseysCheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes JerseysChicago Blackhawks Shop Free ShippingWholesale Columbus Blue Jackets JerseysDallas Stars Shop Free ShippingCheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings JerseysAnaheim Ducks Jerseys ChinaWholesale Edmonton Oilers JerseysFlorida Panthers Shop Free ShippingWholesale Los Angeles Kings JerseysMinnesota Wild Outlet StoreCheap Adidas Nashville Predators JerseysCheap Adidas New York Islanders JerseysNew York Rangers Winter Classic JerseysCheap Adidas Ottawa Senators JerseysCheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers JerseysWholesale Pittsburgh Penguins JerseysCheap Adidas San Jose Sharks JerseysSt. Louis Blues Winter Classic JerseysWholesale Tampa Bay Lightning JerseysToronto Maple Leafs Outlet StoreVancouver Canucks Outlet StoreCheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights JerseysCheap Adidas Washington Capitals JerseysCheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
