ATLANTA -- New York Jets cornerback Jamie Henderson was hospitalized in critical but stable condition Monday following a weekend motorcycle accident.


Grady Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Denise Simpson confirmed Henderson's condition but would not give additional details.


The Jets said in a statement that Henderson was injured Saturday night but did not comment further.


Henderson's agent, Pat Dye, told the Newark Star-Ledger on Sunday the injuries were not life-threatening.


"He was in an accident," Dye told the paper. "It doesn't appear to be life-threatening. That's all I'll confirm out of respect for the family."


A former teammate told the paper that Henderson crashed between 11 p.m. and midnight on Saturday. According to the source, Henderson, who was believed to be wearing a helmet, lost control of the bike while making a turn at a high speed.


Henderson was a standout defensive back at Carrollton High School, 40 miles west of Atlanta. He later played for Georgia before the Jets drafted him in the fourth round in 2001.


The 6-foot-2, 202-pound Henderson, who also is a top special teams player, has 30 defensive tackles in 32 games with the Jets. He also has 41 special-teams tackles.


Last season, he played in 14 games with 11 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble.

Too bad. I hope Jamie can make a full, speedy recovery.
