Jets' Lorenzo Mauldin: Sidelined with back issue

Mauldin didn't practice on Thursday due to a back injury, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Mauldin returned from a back injury Monday and it appears as though the issue has continued to linger. He's been struggling with the ailment intermittently and missed the team's first preseason game. He'll look to let the injury fully heal so as to reduce the chances of it resurfacing during the regular season.
