Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported that an MRI revealed no structural damage in the back, but Pouha is still working to rehab the tightness. Pouha has had a couple doctors check out the back, but the main treatment so far has been rehabbing in a pool.
Pouha has played all seven years of his career with the Jets and started 15 of 16 games last season, accumulating 58 total tackles and one sack.
