CORTLAND, N.Y. » Dwight Lowery figures the New York Jets might be waiting a while for Darrelle Revis to show up.

So, the third-year cornerback approached secondary coach Dennis Thurman a few days ago and told him to give rookie Kyle Wilson the bulk of the work with the first-team defense instead of him.

"I just think the more that he can get out there and be exposed to that kind of stuff, the better his progression is going to be," Lowery said yesterday.

Forget the fact that Lowery is in the mix for a starting job if Revis’ holdout drags into the regular season. If the Jets are going to prepare for life without Revis, Lowery thought, Wilson needs the experience.

"When Dennis told me, I was like, ‘What?’ " coach Rex Ryan said. "I had never heard that before in my life. This kid loves to compete, yet it’s just another example of an unselfish act by a teammate."

Revis has missed 10 days since the team reported for training camp. He’s scheduled to make $1 million in the fourth year of his six-year contract, but wants to become the league’s highest-paid cornerback.

The Jets turned down the latest contract proposal from Revis’ agents and general manager Mike Tannenbaum said it was "hard to say" when the sides would talk again.

Vikings’ Harvin coping with migraines

Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin remains on leave from practice, coping with migraine headaches.

Coach Brad Childress confirmed yesterday that Harvin has had "some" migraines recently. Childress said Harvin is resting at his home in the Twin Cities area.

"I’m not sure when he’ll be with the team. If I knew I would tell you," Childress said.

The second-year standout from Florida, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie kickoff returner, left the Vikings nine days ago when his grandmother died and has not been back to camp.
