Observations from Jets training camp on Monday.
A brilliant moment
In a day of offensive ineptitude, Aaron Rodgers produced a highlight reel. He lowered his arm angle and used a sidearm throw to get a pass around CJ Mosley’s hands to Garrett Wilson.
Misstep
Almost everything on the offense was ugly, including the starting offensive unit. They allowed two would-be sacks to Will McDonald, and new right tackle Morgan Moses committed a false start penalty during team drills.
Max Mitchell then replaced him on the pitch.
Caught my eye
Edge rusher Jermaine Johnson threw a water bottle about 30 yards toward the end of practice, clearly upset.
Robert Saleh said Johnson was annoyed that he didn’t call a sack on the play earlier, and Saleh joked that he almost never does unless it’s too obvious.
Rodgers reports
For much of the afternoon, it wasn’t even clear who Rodgers was aiming for with his throws. He went a brutal 11-for-27, including five straight incompletions, with one interception.
Damage report
Cornerback Michael Carter (ankle) is day-to-day and will be reevaluated at the end of the week. CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse (groin) and safety Isaiah Oliver (undisclosed) will be out for the remainder of training camp, though Saleh said they should be ready for Week 1.
DT Leki Fotu (hamstring) is also out for the remainder of camp. WR Irv Charles should return to practice soon, perhaps even Tuesday. Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) returned to practice, albeit in a red non-contact jersey.
