The New York Jets received several encouraging injury updates during Monday’s practice, with quarterback Geno Smith participating despite dealing with an ankle injury. Smith was on the field and appeared to be moving well during the portion of practice open to the media. He missed the preseason opener at MetLife Stadium on Friday night. This is a positive sign for the Jets as they continue through the preseason. Here is the early week edition of the NY Jets injury report.

The Jets also welcomed back two defensive linemen. Joseph Ossai, who had been on the PUP list, and T’Vondre Sweat, who had been on the NFI list, were both back in action and participated in team drills.

There were still a couple of players working off to the side. Cornerback D’Angelo Ponds was in the rehab area as he works through a calf injury. Defensive back Mory Bamba was also working in the rehab area and had a brace on his right knee. Bad news on Bamba, Aaron Glenn said they expect him to miss several weeks. That is disappointing after the strong performance he had against the Bucs.

Demario Davis and Minkah Fitzpatrick were among the players not participating during the early portion of practice. Veteran rest days was the reason Aaron Glenn provided.

Kenyon Sadiq is with the team on the field as he inches closer to returning to action.

Meanwhile Garrett Wilson missed practice because he threw up upon arriving at the practice facility.

The biggest development is Smith being able to practice and move around on the injured ankle. The Jets will continue to monitor his status as they move closer to the regular season.

Jets injury/practice updates:

– Geno Smith (ankle) is participating and seems to be moving well
– Ossai (PUP) and Sweat (NFI) are back in action
– more Bamba (brace on right knee) is in rehab area
– D’Angelo Ponds (calf) is also working in rehab area

The New York Jets were back on the field Monday morning in Florham Park for a light practice that ran from approximately 8:30 to 10:10. The media was on the field today, giving us a good look at individual work, special teams and team periods. The biggest news was the return of T’Vondre Sweat and Joseph Ossai, while Kenyon Sadiq was dressed and appears to be getting closer to a return. Here is a recap of what we saw during Monday’s Jets Camp practice.

General Notes

• Practice started at approximately 8:30 and wrapped up around 10:10. Overall, it was a lighter practice.
• T’Vondre Sweat was back on the field and participated in practice. Aaron Glenn said afterward that the Jets actually had to slow Sweat down because he didn’t want to come out.
• Joseph Ossai also returned to practice and participated in team periods.
• Kenyon Sadiq was dressed and with the team. He appears to be getting close to returning.
• Garrett Wilson did not practice. Glenn said Wilson arrived at the facility and threw up, so the Jets held him out.
• Demario Davis and Minkah Fitzpatrick had veteran rest days.
• Mory Bamba and D’Angelo Ponds were both out.
• The offense and defense spent time working separately before moving into team periods.

Special Teams

• The punt team received plenty of work early in practice.
• Special teams coordinator Chris Banjo was very vocal and brought plenty of energy to the period while Aaron Glenn stood back and watched.
• Jaden Keller caught Glenn’s attention during the punt-team work, with the head coach offering praise for his performance.
• With NY Jets roster decisions getting closer, these special teams reps become increasingly important for players competing for the final spots.

Defense

• Sweat participated in positional drills before getting work during 11-on-11 periods.
• Ossai showed good backside pursuit on a running play, getting across the formation and helping shut it down.
• Marcelino McCrary-Ball generated pressure on Geno Smith during team work, helping force an incompletion.
• The return of Sweat and Ossai was the biggest development on defense. Getting both players back into team periods gives Aaron Glenn more options as the Jets move deeper into the preseason.

Offense

• Geno Smith looked good moving around during the early portion of practice and was sharp during passing drills.
• With this being a lighter practice, there wasn’t much reason to make too much out of either the good or bad from the starting offense.
• Cade Klubnik had an incompletion earlier in team work after rolling out of the pocket.
• Klubnik finished practice on a much better note during the red-zone period.

Cade Klubnik had one of the better offensive sequences of the day when the Jets moved into red-zone work. Klubnik drove the offense down the field and finished the possession with a touchdown.

This was after Geno had less success, he was picked off by Andre Cisco when the first team was on the field.

For Klubnik it was a good finish to the day for the rookie quarterback after some uneven moments earlier in practice.

Standouts

• T’Vondre Sweat
• Joseph Ossai
• Cade Klubnik
• Jaden Keller on special teams

Final Thoughts

This wasn’t a practice where we need to force a long list of winners and losers. It was a shorter, lighter session, and the biggest developments involved players returning to the field. T’Vondre Sweat and Joseph Ossai were both back practicing, while Kenyon Sadiq appears to be getting closer. Glenn’s comment that the Jets had to slow Sweat down because he didn’t want to come out was particularly encouraging.

Garrett Wilson’s absence was illness-related, while Demario Davis and Minkah Fitzpatrick received veteran rest days.

Cade Klubnik provided the offensive highlight by finishing a red-zone drive with a touchdown, and special teams received plenty of attention as the competition for the final roster spots continues.

The Jets defense got a huge boost today as defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat was taken off of Non-Footbal Injury (NFI) list and added to the active roster.  The 366 pound Sweat had spent all of training camp working off to the side while his teammates have been ramping up on the field.

Sweat’s presence in the middle of the Jets defense is expected to make a huge difference in their ability to stop the run after getting steamrolled on the ground for much of the 2025 season.

With Geno Smith on the sidelines nursing a sore ankle, rookie QB Cade Klubnik made is preseason NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looked impressive in doing so.

Klubnik would lead the Jets on a pair of scoring drives, going up 3-0 before Braelon Allen picked up a 31-yard TD run to put the Jets up 10-0.  Klubnic would finish up 5-7 for 56 yards.  Perhaps playing with a little bit of extra juice, Klubnik did have a couple of passes that were up and a bit off target but all things considered, it was a good day.

Some other noteworthy performances:

– Rookie cornerback Mory Bamba stole the show, picking up four PBU’s by our count, along with a big stop as a gunner on special teams.  He would leave the game for a short time to be checked for a concussion but cleared protocol and returned.

– Nathan Voorhis flashed against the run and again with a pair of pressures that got the QB off his spot on a couple of incomplete passes.

– It was a disastrous night for Bailey Zappe who threw a pick six on his first drive.  Not idea for a guy who wants to take the QB2 job.

– There was a second Zappe interception on the next drive but that one was on wide receiver Arian Smith who had the ball slip right through his hands and into the hands of a defender.

– Marcelino McCrary Ball was probably the best linebacker on the field.  He was all over the place early on and finished with a team high six tackles.

The Jets will kick off their preseason schedule tonight against Todd Bowles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we’ve got a list of players you’re going to want to keep an eye on through the night.

QB Cade Klubnik: Klubnik will be given every chance to win the number two QB job and is likely to see extended action tonight.  He’s had an imperfect but solid camp thus far.

RB Chip Trayanum: Trayanum is going to have a hard time making this roster, but if he looks anything like he did in college; a powerful back with great contact balance who might remind you of Shonn Greene, he may have a chance.

WR AD Mitchell: Mitchell’s name has probably been brought up more than any other player on the roster from OTA’s all the way up until now.  If that starts to translate to games, he’ll lock down the number two job.  If Geno Smith is only going to play a series or two, the Jets should let him air it out to Mitchell at least once to give him a shot to make a play and keep the upward trajectory going.

WR Arian Smith: Smith hauled in a 50-yard TD from Klubnik in practice against the Bucs the other day and will look to build on that.  The second-year speedster is going to have to show some progress after a disastrous rookie season.

TE Jelani Woods: We asked back in May if his connection with Frank Reich could help Woods make the roster, and that seems to be the case up to this point.   A huge target at 6′ 7”, the should take a look at Woods as a red zone option at the very least.

The safety room: Lots of competition here where Minkah Fitzpatrick will start, but it’s yet to be determined who will like up next to him.  Free agent addition Dane Belton has been extremely impressive early on while Andre Cisco and Malachi Moore are firmly in the mix.  And don’t forget about third-year undrafted free agent Jarius Monroe.

K Jason Sanders vs Cade York: The battle between these two has been neck and neck since camp kicked off.  It’s their performance in games that should settle this battle.

The biggest news heading into the New York Jets preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers isn’t about a roster move or an injury report. It’s Aaron Glenn’s approach to the game itself. After two physical joint practices earlier this week, Glenn said every healthy player is expected to see the field Friday night. Rather than resting starters, the Jets head coach pointed to sports science that suggests two days of practice, followed by a day off and approximately 25 to 30 game snaps, can actually reduce injury risk heading into the regular season. Let’s read more and see what we should watch in the upcoming Jets vs Buccaneers game.

Fans watching closely, and anyone keeping an eye on the New York Jets odds, should get one of their best opportunities yet to see how this team is coming together. While the final score won’t mean much in August, there are several storylines that could provide an early glimpse into what the 2026 Jets may become.

Will David Bailey’s Strong Week Continue?

No player generated more buzz during Jets Camp than rookie David Bailey. In the scrimmages this week, he consistently found his way into the backfield, recording sacks in both sessions while showing the speed and relentless motor that made him one of the Jets more exciting draft picks in recent years.

Practice success is encouraging, but Friday presents a different challenge. Quarterbacks can escape the pocket, offenses game plan for specific opponents, and the intensity increases when the lights come on. If Bailey continues to create pressure against Tampa Bay’s offensive line, it will only strengthen the growing belief that he can contribute much sooner than many expected.

Can the Jets Stay Physical Without Crossing the Line?

The joint practices featured plenty of emotion, with Tuesday’s session producing multiple fights and Wednesday bringing another round of pushing and shoving. Competitive football is expected this time of year, but Aaron Glenn has repeatedly emphasized that his team must remain disciplined.

That makes Friday night’s game an interesting test. The Jets want to establish themselves as a physical football team, but unnecessary penalties and personal fouls can quickly erase the benefits of aggressive play. Watching how New York responds after two heated practices may be just as important as any individual performance.

Jets Offensive Line vs. Buccaneers Defensive Line

If there’s one matchup worth paying close attention to, it’s the battle in the trenches.

The Jets invested heavily in rebuilding the offensive line, and this will be the first opportunity to see that group operate in game conditions against an aggressive Tampa Bay defensive front. Whether it’s opening running lanes or protecting Geno Smith during his expected series, the offensive line will face an excellent early test. The Jets offensive line is pretty much intact from last year, but it will be the first time out for left guard Dylan Parham.

Strong play up front would also go a long way toward building confidence before the regular season begins.

How Will the New Defensive Pieces Be Used?

Minkah Fitzpatrick’s arrival gives the Jets one of the NFL’s most versatile defensive backs, and fans will be watching closely to see how he is deployed. Will he spend most of his time as a deep safety, rotate into the box, cover the slot, or move around enough to disguise the defense before the snap? Even a limited preseason workload could provide clues about how Aaron Glenn plans to utilize his newest defensive playmaker.

Another player worth monitoring is veteran linebacker Demario Davis. At this stage of his career, Davis doesn’t need an extended preseason workload, but seeing him alongside the starting defense for a series or two could offer a preview of how the coaching staff plans to incorporate his leadership and experience into the defense.

Tampa Bay’s Quarterback Situation Adds Another Wrinkle

The Buccaneers also enter the game with an interesting quarterback situation after backup Jake Browning suffered an injury during training camp. With Browning unavailable, Baker Mayfield handled a number of second-team reps during the joint practices this week.

That could influence how Tampa Bay approaches the preseason opener. Depending on how the Buccaneers manage their quarterback rotation, will the Jets defense may see more of Mayfield than originally anticipated? That would provide an even better measuring stick for a defense looking to build momentum before Week 1.

Final Thoughts

Preseason games are rarely about the final score. Instead, they’re about answering questions that have been building throughout training camp.

Can David Bailey carry his outstanding week onto the game field? Will the Jets match their physical style with improved discipline? Can the offensive line establish itself against a quality defensive front?  And will the first look at Glenn’s evolving defense offer hints about how players like Minkah Fitzpatrick and Demario Davis will be used this fall?

Those answers won’t tell us everything we need to know, but they’ll make Friday night’s preseason opener far more meaningful than usual. That is what you get when you bring back a head coach and change almost every assistant coach under him.

The Jets and Bucs met for a second consecutive day and things weren’t quite as testy.  After several fights on day one, this session saw far fewer incidents.  But who stood out?

– Edge rusher David Bailey was very impressive yet again, winning several battles in the trenches and coming away with a few would-be sacks.

– Cade Klubnik threw a beautiful deep ball for a 50-yard touchdown to second-year receiver Arian Smith.  Some say it may have been the best pass of camp for any Jets QB.

– Geno Smith went 10-17 on the day in 11-on-11s and did a better job of protecting the ball than he did yesterday when he tossed three interceptions.

– Aaron Glenn revealed that cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers is in concussion protocol.  Stiggers passed out and temporarily lost consciousness yesterday.

– The Jets secondary got carved up by Baker Mayfield who, at one point, led the Bucs on a 65-yard touchdown drive.

– Wide receiver AD Mitchell stayed hot and scored a touchdown in 7-on-7s after getting open on a regular basis on day 1 but couldn’t do much as Geno Smith struggled with his accuracy.

– While cornerback D’Angelo Ponds has been out and won’t be back next week, Aaron Glenn anticipates an increased workload next week.

– Tight end Jeremy Ruckert had the catch of the day as he twisted and contorted to pull in an off-target throw early in the session.

– The Jets will face the Bucs at MetLife Stadium this Friday night at 7pm, where we’ll see if there’s any carryover from a chippy two days of joint sessions.

Jets Camp this week saw two joint practices with the Bucs, day two wrapped up on Wednesday.  After Tuesday featured several fights and the scary scene involving Qwan’tez Stiggers, Day Two was calmer, although the teams still had a few heated moments.

The biggest change was on offense. The Jets started much faster and moved the ball well early in practice. The finish wasn’t nearly as strong, though, as the offense struggled during the final two-minute drill.

Jets Camp General Notes

• There were more fights between the Jets and Tampa Bay, but nothing close to what we saw on Day One.
• One skirmish started after Isaiah Williams was taken out of bounds near the Tampa Bay sideline. Another came after a Breece Hall run.
• The Jets offense got off to a much better start than it did on Tuesday. Geno Smith was sharp early, completing his first five passes during team periods.
• Baker Mayfield had a good day against the Jets defense and was particularly effective during the final two-minute drill.
• David Bailey continues to show up. The rookie edge rusher recorded another would-be sack and continues to be one of the most noticeable players in Jets camp.

Jets Offense Starts Fast

The difference from Day One was noticeable immediately.

Geno Smith and the Jets offense looked much more comfortable early. Smith completed his first five passes during team work, and the offense was able to establish some rhythm.

Breece Hall found the end zone during red-zone work, while Mason Taylor continued his impressive camp with a touchdown reception from Smith.

Cade Klubnik also connected with Arian Smith on a deep touchdown, one of the biggest offensive plays of the day.

Overall, it was a much more encouraging start for the offense after Tampa Bay’s defense controlled large portions of Tuesday’s practice.

More Fights

There was still some bad blood between the two teams.

Isaiah Williams was taken out of bounds near the Tampa Bay sideline on one play, which quickly brought players from both teams together. There was another confrontation following a Breece Hall run.

There was plenty of pushing and shoving, but the incidents didn’t reach the level of the fights from Tuesday.

Baker Mayfield Has a Good Day

Baker Mayfield had success against the Jets defense throughout practice. The Jets generated pressure at times, but Mayfield did a good job getting the ball out quickly and finding open receivers.

He was at his best during the final two-minute period.  With the situation set up as a tie game and just over a minute remaining, Mayfield moved Tampa Bay down the field and finished the drive with a touchdown pass. It was an impressive drive and a strong finish for Mayfield against the Jets defense.

David Bailey

Another practice, another sack for David Bailey. He recorded another would-be sack during team work and continued what has been an impressive training camp. At this point, seeing No. 31 in the backfield is becoming a regular occurrence.

Field Goals

The Jets continued evaluating their kicking competition.

• Cade York: 4-of-5
• Jason Sanders: 3-of-5

York showed off a big leg during the field goal period.

Sanders also received another opportunity later during the final 11-on-11 two-minute drill. His attempt from 61 yards was no good.

Two-Minute Drill

The final two-minute period was one of the most interesting parts of practice. Tampa Bay went first, and Mayfield took advantage of the opportunity. He moved the offense 68 yards and finished the drive with a touchdown pass to Cade Otton.

The Jets then took over at their own 32-yard line with 1:06 remaining. The drive didn’t start well. Braelon Allen dropped a short pass, and an attempt to Garrett Wilson fell incomplete. Smith then connected with Mason Taylor for 11 yards. The biggest play came from Jeremy Ruckert. Smith threw the ball downfield into traffic, and Ruckert went up and made an excellent contested catch. The play gained 19 yards and moved the Jets down near the Tampa Bay 20-yard line. It was one of the best catches of the day and another strong moment for Ruckert, who continues to make his case in a crowded tight end room.

The Jets couldn’t finish the drive. Pressure, penalties and incompletions stalled the offense, leaving Sanders with a field goal attempt from 61 yards. The kick was no good.

After starting practice much better offensively, the Jets weren’t able to close it out during the final situational period.

Standouts

Jeremy Ruckert: His catch during the two-minute drill was one of the offensive highlights of practice.

Cade York: Went 4-of-5 and showed plenty of leg during the field goal period.

David Bailey: Added another sack and continues to make plays seemingly every day.

Baker Mayfield: Had a strong practice against the Jets defense and finished it with an impressive touchdown drive during the two-minute period.

Final Thoughts

Day Two was a better offensive performance for the Jets, particularly early in practice. Smith and the first-team offense came out with much better rhythm, and there were several encouraging plays throughout the day. The finish was a different story.

Mayfield put together an impressive two-minute touchdown drive against the Jets defense, while the Jets offense moved into scoring territory but couldn’t finish its own opportunity.

There were more fights, but they were considerably less intense than Tuesday’s confrontations. With two days of joint practices complete, the Jets and Tampa Bay will see each other one more time Friday night when the preseason gets underway at MetLife Stadium.

The New York Jets are getting another veteran pass rusher back on the field. The team announced Tuesday that edge defender Joseph Ossai has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and moved to the active roster.

According to the official announcement from the New York Jets:

“The Jets have moved edge Joseph Ossai to the active roster and removed him from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.”

Joseph Ossai

Ossai had been on the Active/PUP list since July 28, keeping him out of Jets training camp practices. His return gives head coach Aaron Glenn another experienced option for a defensive front that should have plenty of competition for snaps.

The Jets signed Joseph Ossai in March after he spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 6-foot-4 edge has appeared in 61 games for Cincinnati, totaling 116 tackles, 44 quarterback hits and 14.5 sacks. Perhaps most encouraging for the Jets is Ossai’s recent production. He recorded five sacks in both 2024 and 2025. Last season, he also set a career high with 616 defensive snaps while adding 71 snaps on special teams.

Ossai joins a Jets edge group that includes Will McDonald IV, David Bailey and Kingsley Enagbare, giving Glenn and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks another player who has shown he can get after the quarterback. The timing is also notable. The Jets held their first joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday and will practice against Tampa Bay again Wednesday before the teams meet in the preseason opener Friday night at MetLife Stadium.

How quickly Ossai works his way into team drills remains to be seen after missing the first portion of camp. Getting him off the PUP list gives the Jets another piece to evaluate as they move closer to the regular season.

The New York Jets welcomed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Florham Park on Tuesday for the first of two joint practices ahead of Friday night’s preseason opener at MetLife Stadium. After weeks of competing against their own teammates, the Jets finally got a chance to measure themselves against another team. The intensity was noticeably higher, with several fights breaking out during practice. There was also a concerning moment when Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers required medical attention and was transported to a local hospital. From our vantage point, the Jets defense had the better overall showing, while the Buccaneers defense kept the Jets offense in check for much of the day. Here are our Jets Camp notes:

General Notes

-Most of the day, the Jets offense worked against the Buccaneers defense on one field while the Jets defense faced Tampa Bay’s offense on the other. The last 20 minutes were red zone offense vs defense, on the same field.

-Practice ran over the alloted time due to the Stiggers injury.

-The teams went from 7-on-7 work into full 11-on-11 periods.

-There were several confrontations between the teams throughout practice. The biggest fight came following an interception and quickly brought players from both sides into the scrum. At one point, a Jets helmet was thrown during the altercation.

-The physicality and intensity increased as practice went along. With another joint session scheduled for Wednesday, it will be interesting to see how Aaron Glenn and Todd Bowles manage things on Day 2.

-There was a scary moment involving Qwan’tez Stiggers. The Jets cornerback required medical attention on the sideline, with players dropping to a knee as he was treated. An ambulance was brought onto the field, and Stiggers received an IV before being transported to a local hospital.

-Aaron Glenn said after practice that Stiggers was conscious and able to speak. The Jets later announced that Stiggers had been released from the hospital and was recovering at home.

Special Teams

The Jets spent several periods working on their punt and punt return units. There was a dedicated punt return period before the teams returned to offense-versus-defense work. Later in practice, the Jets worked on punt coverage, with Arian Smith and Kene Nwangwu standing out in punt coverage.

These reps will become increasingly important as roster decisions get closer. Players competing for the final few spots will need to show they can contribute on special teams.

Jets Defense Has a Strong Day

The Jets defense appeared to have the better day of the team’s two units. David Bailey continued what has been an impressive training camp. Bailey generated pressure against Tampa Bay and had a rep that likely would have resulted in a sack under game conditions.

That’s significant because Bailey’s performance is becoming a trend rather than an isolated flash. We’ve mentioned him repeatedly in our Jets training camp reports, and Tuesday provided his first opportunity to show what he could do against another team’s offensive line.

The Jets defensive front as a whole seemed to create problems for Tampa Bay. The group played with energy and generated pressure while making things difficult on the Buccaneers offense. That continues an encouraging theme we’ve seen throughout training camp. The defensive front has consistently been one of the more disruptive areas of the roster.

Buccaneers Defense Keeps Jets Offense in Check

-The Jets offense had a tougher afternoon. Tampa Bay’s defense generally controlled the early 11-on-11 work and prevented the Jets from consistently generating explosive plays.

-Breece Hall did have a few flashes. There were moments where his burst was evident, but sustained offensive success was difficult to find against the Buccaneers defense.

-The passing game also left some opportunities on the field. Mason Taylor had a good practice with some nice catches.

-Geno Smith had Isaiah Williams open deep on one play but overthrew him despite having good protection. Later, Smith came back to Williams on a skinny post. Geno did a nice job holding the safety before delivering a pass that went through Williams’ hands. It looked like it could have resulted in a touchdown.

-Williams continues to be an interesting player to watch. He has consistently created opportunities throughout camp, and Tuesday was another example, even if the Jets weren’t able to capitalize on them.

-Late in practice, Geno connected with Garrett Wilson near the end zone for what appeared to be a touchdown from our vantage point. Wilson continues to be one of the most consistent players we’ve watched throughout camp.

Geno Smith

This wasn’t one of Geno Smith’s better practices of training camp.  He threw an interception during 7-on-7 work, although there was a flag on the play, and the Jets passing game wasn’t able to consistently generate big plays against Tampa Bay. He also had a pick 6 and wasn’t very sharp overall. There were also missed opportunities with Isaiah Williams.

At the same time, there were some positives. The skinny post to Williams was a well-designed and well-executed play by Geno until the drop, and he finished with the late connection to Garrett Wilson. Geno has been consistently sharp through much of camp, so Wednesday will be important to see how he responds.

Cade Klubnik

Cade Klubnik had some uneven moments during team periods as well. On one play, he held the football too long as the Tampa Bay rush closed in before eventually forcing an incompletion. Several times he did show the mobility that has been evident throughout camp, taking off when nobody was open and creating a positive play with his legs.

The rookie has shown some encouraging traits throughout camp, particularly his athleticism and willingness to make plays outside the pocket. Facing another NFL defense in a joint-practice environment is another step in his development. Wednesday and Friday will be nice tests to see if he is ready for the backup QB spot.

Standouts

-David Bailey
-Jets defensive front
-Garrett Wilson

Final Thoughts

The Jets defense was the most encouraging football development from Tuesday’s practice. David Bailey continued his strong training camp, and the defensive front generally made life difficult on Tampa Bay’s offense. Bailey has now flashed enough times that his performance is becoming one of the more consistent stories of camp.

Offensively, there wasn’t the same level of success. Breece Hall had some flashes, and Garrett Wilson made his presence felt again, but Tampa Bay’s defense generally kept the Jets offense under control. There were also opportunities in the passing game that the Jets simply didn’t finish.

The football, however, took a back seat for a period when Stiggers required medical attention. The encouraging news came later Tuesday when the Jets announced that he had been released from the hospital and was recovering at home.

The Jets and Buccaneers will return to the practice field Wednesday for their second joint session before Friday night’s preseason opener at MetLife Stadium.
