The Jets moved indoors for their second practice of the week on Tuesday. Here's what went down:

  • Lucky Whitehead did not practice again but Freddie Bishop and Frank Beltre were back in pads.
  • Bilal Powell made his return to team drills and had a run for a big gain early on in 11-on-11's and a couple of catches later on. Matt Forté remained out.
  • Juston Burris, Myles White and Frankie Hammond were among the players getting first team reps in team periods.
  • Demario Davis, Darron Lee and Buster Skrine had pass break-ups, Dylan Donahue tackled ArDarius Stewart for a loss and Muhammad Wilkerson blew up a screen pass in team periods. Derrick Jones also had a good pass break-up in red zone drills.
  • The offense had trouble with the piped-in crowd noise, which caused them to use hand signals at the line. However, they responded to have a pretty decent day.
  • Jamal Adams, Dexter McDougle and Jeremy Faulk recorded sacks. Adams also broke up a pass with a big hit on Eric Tomlinson and made a tackle in the flat near the goal line.
  • New Jets receiver Daniel Williams beat Marcus Williams and caught a long pass from Christian Hackenberg, only to injure his hand on the play.
  • Chad Hansen had a drop in team periods but rebounded to make a tough sideline catch shortly afterward. Jalin Marshall also had a bad drop in drills.
  • Robby Anderson had a strong practice, catching balls from both Hackenberg and Josh McCown.
  • Bryce Petty had some success in team periods, including a touchdown pass to Hansen.
  • In red zone periods, McCown threw consecutive touchdown passes to Anderson and Julian Howsare. Hackenberg threw one to Anthony Firkser and Romar Morris ran for one.
