BOSTON — Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski met with New York Jets officials to discuss their head coaching vacancy — an interview that was expected to cost him his job with the Eagles.

Jagodzinski, who became BC’s coach in 2007, was told by athletic director Gene DeFilippo that he would be fired if he met with the NFL team.

ESPN.com, citing two people close to the situation, reported that Jagodzinski will not be retained by BC because of the meeting with New York.

DeFilippo said late Tuesday afternoon that he was hoping to meet with Jagodzinski on Wednesday before taking action but wouldn’t say whether the coach would be fired.

Marvin Harrison’s gun used in April shooting

PHILADELPHIA — A gun owned by Indianapolis Colts star Marvin Harrison was used in an April shooting, but investigators still can’t determine who pulled the trigger, the city’s chief prosecutor said.

Five of the six bullet casings found at the North Philadelphia shooting scene came from Harrison’s weapon, but investigators have conflicting witness accounts of who fired it, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham said.

No charges have been filed in the April 28 shooting and the investigation remains open.

The victim has sued Harrison and law enforcement will be keeping tabs on that proceeding to see if any new evidence emerges that could help the criminal investigation, Abraham said.

Surgery on Reggie Bush’s knee confirmed

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints have confirmed that running back Reggie Bush had surgery on his left knee, and will require months of rehabilitation.

However, Bush is expected to be ready for minicamp in June.

The surgery in December entailed drilling small holes in the bone around the knee joint in order to generate soft tissue that mimics the padding effect of cartilage.

Bush has had repeated problems with his left knee the past two seasons. He was placed on injured reserve after the latest injury in the Dec. 11 game against Chicago.

Bush’s injury initially was reported as a sprained medial collateral ligament, which doesn’t usually require surgery. But the team confirmed Wednesday that he had surgery.

Carson Palmer won’t need elbow surgery

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer won’t need surgery on his right elbow and should be ready for the team’s regular offseason workouts.

Team spokesman Jack Brennan said Tuesday night the latest MRI on Palmer’s elbow indicates the quarterback won’t need an operation to repair a ligament and tendon partially torn from the bone.

Palmer hurt the elbow during a 26-23 overtime loss to the Giants in the third week of the season and played in only one more game. Instead of getting reconstructive surgery, Palmer chose to rest the elbow for two months and see if it healed.
