"Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson said he doesn't foresee anything that can keep him off the field next season.

"No. I just think how I feel, obviously God willing and knock on wood and all that stuff, how I feel physically, mentally that's why I can say I'm going to continue to play after this year," he said.

After the CBA was officially ratified a little after 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Tomlinson ? who restructured his contract to give the team some more cap flexibility ? was finally able to practice. Quarterback Mark Sanchez calls Tomlinson his security blanket, and was excited to have his most frequent check-down target back into drills.

Tomlinson couldn't wait either. It gives him yet another chance to ease a career-long burden and make it to a Super Bowl."
