Media were on hand for the Jets’ training camp practice today, which was the scheduled joint practice with the Washington Commanders. Here’s what went down according to those on hand:
- It was raining so Robert Saleh opted to keep Aaron Rodgers out of practice;
- Mike Williams, activated from the PUP list yesterday, practiced for the first time but only did individual drills;
- Ashtyn Davis and Chris Glaser, who were knocked out of the most recent practice, returned today;
- Opening up in 7-on-7, Tyrod Taylor completed a pass to Garrett Wilson and Andrew Peasley hit a wide open Lance McCutcheon;
- Wilson lost his man down the field for a deep touchdown from Taylor;
- Taylor then hit Allen Lazard on a well-timed comebacker as the Jets offense was off to a great start;
- Zack Kuntz dropped a pass from Adrian Martinez;
- DJ Reed got beaten deep by Dyami Brown who pulled in a one-handed catch;
- The starting offensive line was working together and got off to a great start in 11-on-11’s springing Breece Hall for a touchdown with good blocks by Tyron Smith, John Simpson and a pulling Joe Tippmann;
- The Jets pass rush was getting some good pressure in 11-on-11’s;
- Smith and Morgan Moses both got beaten for a pressure in red zone work;
- Braelon Allen had a nice run but Malachi Corley dropped an Andrew Peasley pass;
- Taylor connected on another touchdown pass to Wilson, from seven yards with Wilson getting his feet inbounds near the pylon;
- Taylor and Wilson continued to dominate, with Wilson making a sliding first down catch and then a downfield 55-yard touchdown as he juked a DB in the open field;
- The Commanders broke a big run as Micheal Clemons got sealed inside;
- Hall got into a shoving match with a Washington player;
- Smith and Moses were pulled from the 2nd and 3rd set of team reps, presumably as a precaution as the rain worsened, and the line struggled a bit without them;
- On defense, the Jets were getting plenty of pressure with Jayden Daniels starting off 4 for 7 with a fumble;
- The Commanders TE got a big gain down the middle as Chuck Clark slipped;
- In a move-the-ball period, the Jets got off to a bad start when Taylor was sacked and Wilson had a drop;
- Lazard kept the drive going with a third down catch and then Isaiah Davis broke a long run;
- On the next drive, Tyler Conklin had a short catch and Lazard again extended the drive with a five yard catch on 4th-and-3;
- The Jets ultimately failed to score as Wilson was short of the marker on third down and ruled out of bounds on a 4th down circus catch. Taylor was 3-for-8 on the drive which included a Hall drop;
- The Commanders went four-and-out as CJ Mosley broke up a pass, Will McDonald pressured the quarterback into back-to-back incompletions and (after a first down by the tight end was called back due to a penalty) Gardner broke up a fourth down pass;
- Daniels finished up 7 for 15 with six of those completions being dump-offs;
- The backups had a good two-minute drill highlighted by a Peasley to Corley first down pass on a corner route;
- Jamien Sherwood made a couple of plays on the Washington backups’ drive; and
- Despite getting into range, the Commanders missed a field goal to end practice.
