Jets' top cornerback Dee Milliner to miss opener vs Raiders with ankle injury

New York Jets cornerback Dee Milliner will sit out the regular-season opener against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday with a high ankle sprain.

Coach Rex Ryan made the announcement, which was expected, after practice Friday. Antonio Allen, a converted safety, and career backup Darrin Walls will be the Jets' starting cornerbacks for the game at MetLife Stadium.

Milliner injured his left ankle on Aug. 10 during training camp and hasn't practiced since. Ryan says it's too early to anticipate whether Milliner will be ready in time to play at Green Bay next week.

Safety Josh Bush (quadriceps) and linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali (foot) are also ruled out for the game against the Raiders.
