Training camps have kicked off around the NFL, and our team reporters are on the ground each day following all the action. The New York Jets‘ camp is taking place in Florham Park, New Jersey, and Jets reporter Rich Cimini has the latest intel on standouts, highlights, position battles, depth chart movement, cut decisions and of course the quarterback room.
What follows is everything we are seeing and hearing at camp. We will update this file often with the latest updates. Who are the breakouts to watch, especially for fantasy football? And which players on the roster bubble could make the final 53?
Let’s get into it all, and be sure to keep checking back for more information until the first full week of the preseason begins on Aug. 7.
Latest news from Jets camp
Wednesday, July 23
First-year coach Aaron Glenn was so excited for his first training-camp practice Wednesday that he woke up at 3:30 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep. His wife had texted at 2:30 a.m., offering a simple piece of advice: “Just be AG.”
And so began a new coaching era for the Jets.
Glenn did and said all the right things at his first practice, bouncing around from unit to unit — an illustration of his desire to be a coach for the entire team, not just one side of the ball.
Afterward, he probably scored points with the long-suffering fan base, telling reporters, “Listen, I know the pain, I know all the things that the fans have been through. … I understand the pain and I’m hoping, I’m praying. I expect to make sure that pain goes away and I think about that every day.”
Glenn was the Jets’ first-round pick in 1994 and played with them until 2001. He knows the history (not great) and the plight of the fans. He can speak their language, but eventually he will have to deliver wins. This is the honeymoon period. Enjoy it while you can.

QB Justin Fields (5-for-8) was solid in his first practice. His best throw was a deep corner route to a wide-open Garrett Wilson, his old Ohio State teammate. The rest of his completions were checkdowns to the backs.
Not a great start for WR Malachi Corley, who dropped a pass from fourth-string QB Brady Cook. Coming off a disappointing rookie year, Corley needs a strong camp to secure a roster spot. He won’t get a free pass this year.
Incumbent C Joe Tippmann admitted “it took me by surprise” when the team signed veteran C Josh Myers in the offseason. Tippmann said Glenn called him immediately to explain the team’s thought process. Glenn characterized it as an “open competition.” Early edge: Tippmann.

By Jets’ standards, it was a quiet reporting day. There was no Aaron Rodgers circus, no contract holdouts and no distractions. This, no doubt, pleased new coach Aaron Glenn, whose stated preference is to “move in silence.”
On Day 1, the Jets celebrated young stars Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, both of whom received mega-contract extensions last week. In fact, Gardner officially signed his four-year, $120.4 million extension shortly after reporting. Both players met the media for the first time since the deals were done.
The Jets also trumpeted their new, state-of-the-art locker room, which includes plenty of high-tech bells and whistles. “Super dope,” defensive tackle Quinnen Williams called it.

New digs, new coach, new quarterback, new everything. Detect a trend?
Now all they have to do is … you know, win games.
The Jets have endured nine straight losing seasons and 14 consecutive years out of the playoffs. Williams, who arrived on the scene in 2019, said the constant losing is “definitely challenging,” but he’s optimistic that things will change.’
“I think it’s super high expectation for this team, for this coaching staff and for this organization and what we want to achieve and where we want to go,” Williams said.

There was plenty of early praise for Glenn. Alluding to Glenn’s time as an assistant coach with the Detroit Lions and way-back-when as a player for the Jets, Wilson said the first-year coach has “seen the blueprint” on how to flip moribund franchises.
The first practice will be 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, earlier in the day than in past years.
Gardner loves the new defensive scheme, which will feature more man-to-man coverage than in recent years. He anticipates being able to travel with the opponents’ No. 1 WR.
