Training Camp Practice Recap - 8/19/26
Training camp continued today with media on hand for the Jets' practice. Here's what went down according to those on hand:
- It was a lighter practice, in shells;
- Qwan'tez Stiggers made his return, albeit in a red no-contact jersey;
- Geno Smith didn't complete a single pass as he ended up 0-for-3 on the day. He had one pass completion to Mason Taylor negated by a flag for an illegal shift and one was blown dead because of a Jarvis Brownlee sack;
- Harrison Phillips also had a sack;
- Jowon Briggs had a tackle for loss and Dane Belton had a pass breakup;
- Cade Klubnik had the first completion of the day to Garrett Wilson;
- Klubnik ended up five for five in the red zone with touchdowns to Kene Nwangwu and Jelani Woods; and
- Cade York got the better of the kicking duel today as he made five out of five including a 60-yarder. Jason Sanders missed one of his five.
There was also a roster move today:
We've signed WR Junior Bergen and waived/injured WR DT Sheffield
— New York Jets (@nyjets) August 19, 2026
Sheffield muffed a punt on Friday and didn't play any offensive snaps, so he won't be a major loss. Bergen brings similar return abilities with the former seventh round pick having returned six punts for touchdowns in his final two seasons of college.
