Joe Klecko, the All Pro right defensive end and the NFL's leading sacker in 1981, Is expected to return from the injured reserve list and see at least some spot duty in pass rushing situations. And right tackle Marty Lyons, plagued by a pulled hamstring, has had his status upgraded from to "probable." meaning he has a 75 percent chance of playing. "I feel like I can come back and play now and do a decent job," Klecko said Monday as the Jets' tried to shrug off their 17 13 loss to Kansas City in the regular season finale. "I'm ecstatic.

I'm hippy." What he is not is 100 percent, nor does he expect to start. Klecko made his last appearance Sept. 19 in the second game of the season. While pursuing a running play, he dislocated his right kneecap and ruptured the patella tendon, requiring surgery. The long road to rehabilitation, involving welghtlifting.

Ben Rudolph, the primary backup" at tackle, started in place of Lyons and suffered a sprained left knee.
