Overview

• Rookie quarterback Kyle McCord played the entire game and finished 15-of-35 for 136 yards with one interception, reinforcing concerns about his readiness as the backup option.
• Coach Nick Sirianni offered no timetable on Tanner McKee’s right finger injury, leaving his Week 1 availability uncertain.
• Veteran cornerback Parry Nickerson strengthened his case with a leaping interception of Jets rookie Brady Cook, enhancing his practice-squad or waiver appeal.
• Kicker Jake Elliott drilled field goals from 51 and 53 yards and added two more makes, pointing to a rebound from last season’s long-range struggles.
• With cuts due Tuesday, coaches face thin depth at edge rusher and among reserve offensive linemen, while Johnny Wilson’s season-ending surgery reshapes the receiver competition.
