Antonio Cromartie refused to speak to media again on Thursday. Cromartie told ESPN on Tuesday that he was the "second-best receiver on the team."

After the comment, WR Chaz Schilens took offense, but on Thursday Schilens said he probably "said some stuff I shouldn't have." At the time Schilens challenged Cromartie to take it to the field. Jets coach Rex Ryan said Thursday of Cromartie's initial comment, "I think everyone laughed except Chaz. [Cromartie's] not the No. 2 receiver."

According to Schilens, he and Cromartie have worked things out.

Ryan held a team meeting on Wednesday following the Cromartie-Schilens dust-up.

"There were some issues I wanted to address," Ryan said. If I see an issue, I want to stay on top of it. We're going to be out in front of things and not behind things."
