Jets Held Closed, Player-Led Walkthrough After Preseason Loss

Glenn used the format to emphasize a player-driven culture.

Overview

  • Players confirmed the Sunday session was a designated walkthrough with no media access, consistent with NFL rules that allow closed walk-throughs.
  • Aaron Glenn was the only coach on the field as Justin Fields called the offense and Jamien Sherwood directed the defense.
  • Participants said the setup enhanced accountability, sharpened situational awareness, and let units manage reps and calls themselves.
  • Reporters tied the tactic to Glenn’s broader philosophy shaped by mentors such as Bill Parcells and to a similar player-led practice in Detroit in 2022.
  • Garrett Wilson first mentioned the event publicly, initially saying Monday before the team clarified it occurred Sunday.
