HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., Aug. 15 -- To ask Stacy Tutt to take a snap from center would have been comical, a visual gag along the lines of someone trying to punch in a number on a cellphone while wearing an oven mitt.
Tutt, who threw for 2,219 yards last season as a senior at Richmond, was participating in drills with his new team, the Jets, earlier this week with his left hand and palm swathed in tape. He had an injury that he was not at liberty to identify.
Practicing was cumbersome but it was not out of the question for Tutt, a right-hander who could face long stretches without touching the ball at his new position, fullback. It is a major role reversal, dishing out hits instead of dodging them at quarterback, but Tutt seems happy to give it a try.
