What happened at practice on Monday?

The Jets were back on the field on Monday for their first practice of the final week of training camp. Here's what went down:

  • Practice was brought forward, shortened and moved inside in light of the impending eclipse.
  • It was basically just a walk-through anyway.
  • The three quarterbacks all saw first team reps, with Josh McCown seeing the most time with the first unit.
  • Brandon Shell, Josh Martin, Chad Hansen and ArDarius Stewart were among players to get reps with the first unit.
  • Darron Lee and Rontez Miles did not practice. Bruce Carter worked with the starters in place of Lee.
  • Demario Davis led the defense in some extra drills with no coaches after practice was over.

Here's what Todd Bowles had to say after practice:

  • The NFL today confirmed that Lee and Leonard Williams will not be disciplined for the off-field incident during the offseason. Bowles did not comment on this.
  • Lee didn't participate today because he was feeling unwell.
  • He'll make his decision on the starting quarterback and will probably announce it on Monday after watching the film.
  • He can't say if Matt Forté will be healthy in time for the start of the season. He and Lorenzo Mauldin remain day-to-day.
  • Rontez Miles doesn't have a concussion, just a laceration under his eye.
  • He thinks the offense has the talent to score points and that's they'll "be fine".
  • They didn't run a full practice today because they got in late on Saturday night (3:00am) and they practiced inside because that's where they conduct all walk-through practices.
  • With reference to Hackenberg's first drop-back on Saturday, he refused to get into specifics but said there were breakdowns on a couple of fronts and they've subsequently discussed it in a meeting.
  • He said that they didn't play well as an offense in the first half on Saturday, but acknowledged that Hackenberg is part of that offense.
