Tebow's status up in air for Sunday

Will Tim Tebow be available to play Sunday or won't he?

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan said Friday that he won't make a decision on Tebow's status until game time Sunday. But ESPN and New York Daily News reports indicated that Tebow would be placed on the inactive list.

Tebow suffered two broken ribs in a game two weeks ago and did not play Thanksgiving night against New England despite being the team's No. 2 quarterback. The injury has restricted Tebow in practice this week, according to reports.

ESPN and the Daily News both reported that Greg McElroy would back up starter Mark Sanchez for Sunday's game against Arizona.
