Former Trojan Joe McKnight collapses during practice with Jets

Joe McKnight’s New York Jets training camp has gone from strange to scary.

The former USC running back, who has been recovering from a head injury, reportedly was transported to the locker room Monday after dropping to the field during a drill. He was wearing an oxygen mask as he was taken from the field.

Simply getting to the field Monday was a chore for McKnight, who took a knee three times while walking to the SUNY Cortland soccer field. A trainer met him with water after he knelt a third time.

McKnight eventually got to the practice field, where he wore a non-contact jersey, but he wasn’t there for long. He dropped a pass during a 1-on-1 drill and fell to the ground. Trainers attended to him before he slowly walked off the field and made it to a cart.

Earlier in camp, McKnight failed a conditioning test – Coach Rex Ryan later attributed that to an anxiety issue – and was arrested for failure to pay traffic tickets.

McKnight, a fourth-round pick of the Jets in 2010, left USC a year early and under scrutiny for violating NCAA rules.
