Shaun Ellis said he is planning to play despite having a broken left hand but will pull himself from tomorrow's AFC Championship game against the Colts if he is incapable of doing the job.

Ellis fractured his hand on the first play of the Jets' 17-14 victory in San Diego, but he was able to finish the game. He plans to do the same tomorrow at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

"I can't grab. But it's one hand," said Ellis, playing in his 10th season with the Jets. "Just got to go out and play. I'll be able to be functional with it. . . . I have a right hand."

Ellis, who said he is in a lot of pain, will wear a protective contraption on his hand. Mike DeVito is Ellis' backup at defensive end, but Ryan said he expects the longest-tenured Jet to play his normal amount against Peyton Manning and Co.

"He's not restricted," Ryan said. "I know his hand is in a cast and all that stuff, but there are no limitations for him."
