Observations for Jets practice on Tuesday.
Flex, Luther
Backup QB Zach Wilson did make a nice connection with wide receiver T.J. Luther, who reached across his body for the catch of the day about 15 yards down field during those drills.
Not In The Cards
The 11-on-11 portion of what’s known as a “card practice” wasn’t particularly competitive, by design. The first teamers on offense and defense didn’t face each other, but instead ran plays against the respective opposing scout teams, which simulate what opponents are expected to attempt to do against the Jets during games.
Caught My Eye
The ’stache Aaron Rodgers has been sporting lately, as seen prominently on the first episodes of “Hard Knocks,” is no more. “It went the way of the white buffalo,” he said jokingly.
Rodgers Report
As mentioned, Rodgers didn’t face the first-string defense, but he completed 11 of 14 pass attempts, mostly for short and mid-range yardage.
Injury Report
Defensive end Carl Lawson (back), wide receiver Corey Davis (personal reasons), offensive lineman Joe Tippmann (knee), running back Israel Abanikanda (thigh) and tight end Kenny Yeboah (hamstring) did not practice.
