by Site Admin

Training camp continued today with media on hand for the Jets' practice. Here's what went down according to those on hand:

  • Garrett Wilson was back at practice after being ill yesterday;
  • Kingsley Enagbare and Mazi Smith, who have been injured, returned to practice;
  • Kenyon Sadiq was working on the side field with D'Angelo Ponds, Mory Bamba, Nahshon Wright and Qwan'tez Stiggers;
  • Harrison Phillips did not practice;
  • In one-on-ones, Omar Cooper beat Malachi Moore and Jarvis Brownlee for catches, Brandon Stephens broke up a pass to Wilson and AD Mitchell drew a pass interference penalty from AZ Thomas. Also, Arian Smith made a great catch on Dane Belton;
  • The run defense was solid early in team drills with stops from Jamien Sherwood twice and T'Vondre Sweat;
  • Cade Klubnik connected with Mason Taylor on a roll-out;
  • Geno Smith, who had a solid day, hit Mitchell down the middle for an early big gain;
  • David Bailey dropped into coverage and blew up a pass intended for Kene Nwangwu;
  • Brady Cook overthrew a wide open (Arian) Smith;
  • Dane Belton forced an incompletion on a deep throw to Wilson, with Bailey pressuring (Geno) Smith on an inside move;
  • Smith hit Wilson again over the middle and then hit Isaiah Williams on an out route;
  • Ruckert got open for a nice catch, then fumbled the ball, but bounced back with two more catches;
  • Sam Womack intercepted Klubnik on a pass that was juggled by Chip Trayanum;
  • Brownlee had a nice pass breakup on Williams; and
  • Klubnik was intercepted again, this time by Thomas, off a Will McDonald deflection.

There was also a roster move today:

Lynn was with the Lions as a UDFA in Aaron Glenn's last season as their defensive coordinator in 2024. He was a defensive tackle in college, racking up 28 sacks in his last three seasons at William & Mary, but weighed in at 253 at his pro day so he has since converted to an edge role. The 24-year old has yet to make his NFL debut but did have a couple of preseason sacks.

Garber is also a former UDFA who hasn't made his NFL debut yet. He is a good athlete who played on the outside in college but saw action in the slot with the Vikings in preseason last year.

Barten and Jonathan were deep long-shots anyway, so losing them is no big deal.
