Overview

  • The Jets have entrenched a run-first identity under Aaron Glenn, with camp drills emphasizing physical rushing and ball-control strategy.
  • Joe Tippmann and Glenn have praised a fortified offensive line, assembled through recent draft picks and acquisitions, as central to the ground attack.
  • Over his past three full-team sessions, Justin Fields has completed just 15 of 43 passes and conceded that uneven performances are “inevitable” in camp.
  • A high-ankle sprain for rookie tight end Mason Taylor and a knee issue for backup Tyrod Taylor have elevated depth concerns for the preseason.
  • With joint practices upcoming and the Aug. 16 preseason opener at Green Bay in view, New York is balancing live reps with strategic rest to finalize its offensive game plan.
