FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall says his injured left knee is feeling better, and he hopes to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Marshall's knee twisted awkwardly under him after a catch last Thursday at Buffalo and he left the game briefly before returning. He says Monday that the knee feels ''stable'' and he is no longer walking with a limp.

Coach Todd Bowles was uncertain if Marshall will be able to play, saying that the team's first official injury report of the week comes out Wednesday. Bowles did deny a report that Marshall has an injured medial collateral ligament, but wouldn't clarify the nature of the injury.

Marshall did not practice Monday, as expected, but added that he shouldn't ever be counted out from playing until Sunday.
