    Troubled running back Mike Goodson didn't show up Tuesday for mandatory minicamp, and the New York Jets have no idea why.
    A miffed Rex Ryan said neither he nor anyone in the organization has talked to Goodson, who still faces a weapons-possession charge stemming from his arrest last year. Previously, Goodson skipped the 10 voluntary practices without informing the team of his whereabouts.

    "I recognize the fact that he's not here, and that situation will be dealt with," Ryan said after practice.

    Goodson's days with the team appear numbered. His off-the-field issues have been a major headache for the Jets, who signed him last year as a free agent for $6.9 million over three years.

    Because minicamp is a mandatory team activity, Goodson is subject to a fine, according to the collective bargaining agreement. The maximum fine is $69,455 if he's a no-show for all three days.

    Ryan noted that he's never had a player miss a mandatory minicamp, cracking that even former Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis showed up during his contract squabbles. Revis, though, missed the 2010 training camp because of a holdout.

    "That's a good question, I don't know," Ryan said, when asked to explain Goodson's no-show.
