Jets Training Camp Practice Recap - 8/7/25

by Site Admin

Media were in attendance today for the Jets' practice. Here's what went down according to those on hand:

  • Will McDonald returned to practice but Byron Cowart was not in attendance after leaving the previous practice on a cart;
  • Tyrod Taylor, Azareye'h Thomas, Mason Taylor and Quinnen Williams were all also absent;
  • Practice opened with a successful drive, ending in a 20 yard touchdown from Justin Fields to Garrett Wilson. Fields was 3-for-4 on the drive which also included a Breece Hall catch and a Will McDonald run stop;
  • Phidarian Mathis and Tyler Baron combined for a sack;
  • Brady Cook connected on a pass near the sideline to Jamaal Pritchett;
  • Adrian Martinez drove the third unit offense downfield for a score on a drive highlighted by a bomb to Quentin Skinner;
  • Marcelino McCrary-Ball had a nice play to knock a pass out of Wilson's hands;
  • Not for the first time this week a Jeremy Ruckert drop led to a Fields interception, this time by Brandon Stephens;
  • Fields bounced back from that with a red zone touchdown scramble;
  • With the third unit backed up at their own goal line, the starting defense stuffed a run for a safety and sacked Cook for another safety;
  • In the same situation, Arian Smith had a big third down catch but then Jamien Sherwood forced a fumble on the next play;
  • The starting offense then did the same exercise and Leonard Taylor batted down a pass before Wilson caught one over the middle;
  • Pritchett had some nice plays including a catch and run;
  • Fields converted a third down in the two minute drill with a jump pass to Tyler Johnson, then hit Wilson over the middle; and
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that starters will play in Saturday's game.

There was also a minor personnel move involving safety Jaylin Simpson who was released from injured reserve.

Note: The Jets officially have a day off tomorrow although they will conduct a walkthrough with no media in attendance. After Saturday's first preseason game, they will have two days off so the next practice will be the first joint practice with the Giants on August 12th.
