FLORHAM PARK. N.J. -- Breno Giacomini insists hell be back on the football field at some point. The New York Jets right tackle just isnt sure when that will be.Giacomini is still dealing with a lower-back injury that will likely keep him out of the teams regular-season opener -- and perhaps longer.Right now, Im considered day-to-day, Giacomini said Thursday, the first time he spoke to reporters since being injured during minicamp in June. I dont know when Ill be back, but Im progressing.Giacomini, entering his third season with the Jets, has not practiced during training camp because of a strain and muscle spasms. He is on the physically unable to perform list and doesnt appear to be on track to be ready to play in the season opener against Cincinnati on Sept. 11.I honestly have no idea, coach Todd Bowles said when asked if he thought Giacomini would be ready to start the season. Its getting close and hes not practicing yet, so well see.Ben Ijalana and Brent Qvale have been splitting snaps at right tackle with the starting offense, but neither has started an NFL game. Bowles acknowledged that the Jets could also explore outside options.Wed consider it, he said. Weve talked about it and well continue to talk about it. Well see how they (Ijalana and Qvale) come along, and see who we want to add, if we want to add anybody.Giacomini says hes at about 80 percent speed and insists he will play this season, but is uncertain when hell be completely healthy. He said he was able to get into a three-point stance and do some basic blocking techniques against air during practice Wednesday. He said he did some more things on Thursday.Its not where I need to be to be on the field, Giacomini said.The 30-year-old lineman said he expected his back to feel better a week or two after he injured it, but the pain increased during the July 4 weekend. Giacomini acknowledged that he has dealt with a similar back issue during his career, but it wasnt as intense as his current ailment.He didnt go into details about how it has been treated, declining to say whether he has received any injections. Giacomini did acknowledge that the injury is not a disk-related issue.Every day were taking a step forward, he said. No steps back, so thats a good thing.When asked if he could start the season on PUP, meaning he would have to miss at least the first six games of the season, Giacomini shrugged.Is it a possibility? he said. Probably. Its something I dont want, but thats something I cant control.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Hydro Flask Pas Cher France . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.
